Women Encouraging Women

Women are pillars of God’s church and kingdom.

STATEMENT ON THE ROLE OF WOMEN:
Women are pillars of God’s church and kingdom.

VISION:
To encourage and edify established and emerging women leaders so they can flourish and effectively participate in the expansion of Christ’s kingdom and the edification of his Church.

OBJECTIVES:
1. Nurture healthy personal growth in Christ through sound Biblical doctrine
2. Nurture Christ-like leadership
3. Develop deep redemptive friendships
4. Facilitate member care

WEW TEAM:
Currently, we are blessed to have a group of Christ-centered, seasoned women who have a huge heart of compassion for our UBF women

WEW TRACK/WORKSHOP FORMAT:
- Cohort size: flexible
- Preparation for meetings may be required and may entail reading a book, watching a video, or answering (reviewing) discussion questions. Specific future topics will be suggested by the women in the cohort. Also, we may switch gears during the progress of a cohort if the women show an interest in spending more time on a particular topic.
- Flexible length: we have found the sweet spot to be either every other Saturday for 8 weeks or six consecutive weeks.

TARGET GROUP:
Women leaders with solid Bible study who desire to serve Christ’s mission

FACILITATORS:
UBF staff, lay leaders or invited guests
*Any seasoned UBF member who has a passion for women’s ministry and women’s needs is invited to propose a topic and lead a course that will then be vetted by the WEW committee.
