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 />
