[reach] Women’s Ministry

Reach exists to help women of all ages grow in their spiritual journey with Christ. Founded in 2001, Reach’s mission is to help meet the spiritual, emotional, social, physical, and mental needs of women.

Activities include in-depth Bible studies, socials, retreats and conferences, mentoring opportunities, personal accountability, and topical/inspirational workshops.

Our desire this year is to be “Made Courageous.” Something special happens when women in the church come together and connect – even more so when we encourage one another!

“So let’s do it – full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.” Hebrews 10.24 (The Message)

This year, as we gather, we will be seeking to make one another courageous. This site will help keep you updated on what we are doing and will give you the details of our upcoming events. Reach has highlighted different women who have shown courage so that we can look at their examples and be made more courageous ourselves.
