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.

Upcoming Tracks
WEW Track – Keep your Lamps Burning Brightly (Mt 25: 1-13)
The believers’ journey is often compared to a race in Scripture. Every believer’s hope is Jesus’ second coming. Yet as those who deeply love Jesus, not only do we want to finish the race, but we want to shine brightly when Jesus comes again. Like brides eagerly waiting for their bridegroom, we want to be fully devoted with earnest expectation.
History
(HQ) Women Encouraging Women New Spring 2025 Track: LET’S PRAY!
LET’S PRAY! Does this sound familiar? Inspired by our own M. Sarah Barry who is known for saying “Let’s pray” at any moment and in the face of any challenge, we would like to encourage women of all ages to join together to simply pray. Each session will begin with a brief excerpt on prayer from the book “A Praying Church” by Paul E. Miller.
