WOMENS MINISTRY<br />

A PLACE FOR WOMEN<br />

We believe women are vital to the church, and the numbers prove it!<br />

More than 50% of those who attend our churches are women, and almost<br />

25% of our AG credentialed ministers are women. In our local churches,<br />

you will find some type of ministry for women, whether through an<br />

organized Women's Ministry department, a small group or one-on-one.<br />

In addition, women are an essential part of the Assemblies of God, as<br />

shown by this official position paper:<br />

The Assemblies of God have been blessed and must continue to be blessed by the<br />

ministry of God's gifted and commissioned daughters. The Bible repeatedly affirms<br />

that God pours out His Spirit upon both men and women and thereby gifts both<br />

sexes for ministry in His Church. Therefore, we must continue to demonstrate the gifts<br />

of women in ministry and spiritual leadership.<br />

(taken from the Role of Women in Ministry – adopted August 9-11, 2010)<br />

Because of the value placed on women, the PennDel Ministry Network<br />

Leadership Team includes a Women's Director and Department.<br />

Our mission statement is:<br />

PennDel Women (PDW) exists to create experiences to inspire<br />

women to encounter Jesus, live empowered by the Holy Spirit,<br />

and be equipped to impact their communities.<br />

“The speakers and breakout sessions<br />

were outstanding!”<br />

“I love the time spent in The Holy Spirit<br />

and the willingness of the prayer team.”<br />

—Women's Conference Attendees<br />

“Being a part of Women’s Ministry<br />

enabled me to move forward with a<br />

true joy for all God has blessed me with.<br />

Sharing side by side with women that<br />

were at first strangers, that became true<br />

friends. The women shared and cared,<br />

and God did the rest!“<br />

—Deb<br />

The PennDel Women’s Ministry goal is to help churches succeed by coming alongside them as a resource.<br />

We endeavor to create experiences, training and relationships that encourage growth and inspiration for<br />

women in your church and those who serve in leadership. Some of the ways we do this are:<br />

INSPIRE SPRING TOUR<br />

This is an "in-person" event or the<br />

event can be live-streamed to your<br />

church. We provide the speakers and<br />

downloadable resources, allowing you<br />

to customize the event for your church.<br />

MISSIONS EXPERIENCES<br />

PennDel Women (PDW) organizes<br />

mission trips both in our Network and<br />

overseas so women may experience the<br />

power of serving with other women in a<br />

context outside the church.<br />

TRAINING<br />

Our LEAD WELL arm of PDW provides<br />

online training and connection for your<br />

women who are leading, both inside<br />

and outside the church.<br />

SOCIAL MEDIA<br />

PDW is active on our social media<br />

channels, inspiring throughout the<br />

week with posts and live engagement<br />

opportunities.<br />

REPLENISH<br />

This annual retreat for your Women's<br />
