Women's Ministry

Women’s ministry provides a creative avenue to invest in the lives of women with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It can take on different forms in the local church. Women’s ministry can be as simple as a Bible Study group or as complex as a fully developed ministry program. A fully developed ministry program offers women the opportunity to worship, grow, connect, serve, and share—together! The Five Keys for Effective Growth Ministry Model is at the heart of all we do at Arkansas Baptist Women.

Worship: Drawing our hearts near to God.
Grow: Drawing our minds to the Word.
Connect: Drawing us near to each other in community.
Serve: Drawing us together in service and outreach.
Share: Drawing others in our world to Jesus.

The purpose of women’s ministry is to resource churches with cutting-edge strategies that encourage and equip women to live out God’s plan for their lives. These strategies come in the form of leadership training, website resources, Women’s Ministry Networks, Arkansas Baptist Women Conference, Arkansas Baptist Women Podcast, and Women’s Lending Bible Studies.
