Women's Discipleship Ministry
Our Story
Championing, equipping and empowering women of faith across the nation since 1964.
Our History
A legacy of empowering women
The Women’s Ministry started in the 1920s in the USA and was given full recognition in the General Assembly of 1936. In England, this Ministry was organised in 1964 under the leadership of Mrs. Rose Lyseight.
In 2024, the department celebrated 60 years of Women’s Ministry and we continue to look to the future with great hope and expectation.
What We Do
Empowering women across the UK
We work across the UK in our churches, empowering women through various means. Women and young ladies in our churches are actively exploring ways to meet the needs of all women, including those who attend church, as well as those from the wider community.
This department celebrates all that women are created to be and so we promote:
- Healthy, spiritual growth
- Confident, purposeful living
- Empowered, successful women
To achieve this we recognise the diversity as well as the commonality of our needs.
Our Approach
Faith, inclusion and community
We encourage women to develop a deep relationship with God through prayer, worship and education. We understand that through the inclusion of other cultures we can enhance our congregations, build our community and strengthen ourselves for the challenges facing our society today.
