The vision of the Lake Union Women’s Ministries Department is to inspire each woman in our territory to daily walk with our Best Friend, Jesus, to be nurtured, equipped, and encouraged, and to use God’s given talents to address the spiritual, emotional, and social needs of the women we come in contact with day by day.

Women’s Ministries is SERVICE—service to the church and to the community. It is being intentional about reaching out and touching someone!

An integral part of Women’s Ministries is PRAYER; through it, we build a close relationship with our Savior and other women. We grow, we reflect His character, and then we go into action. We can truly say, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

Please contact me if I may assist you.
