Women's Ministry

Roopville Road Baptist Church Women’s Ministry is built on:

Worship:  “…Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him

only shalt thou serve.” Matthew 4:10


Edification: “So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have

imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only,  but also our own souls

because ye were dear to us.” I Thessalonians 2:8

 

Evangelism: But ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you:

and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea,

and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”  Acts 1:8

 

Through individual and corporate worship we grow in our spiritual walk

with the Lord Jesus Christ.  As a direct outpouring of our growth, we are

drawn to edify the body of Christ through Bible study, ministry to one another,

service, discipleship and prayer which then prompts us to share the love of

Jesus both near and far through outreach and other evangelistic endeavors.

 

 

Opportunities available through Women’s Ministry

 Monthly meetings:  Women’s ministry meetings are held the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Christian Life Center.  All women in the church are invited to attend from high school through senior adults.  The meetings include a time of fellowship, Bible study, planning and prayer.  Throughout the year, meetings may be reserved for “Something Special” to highlight a particular women’s group in the church and “My Story for His Glory” to allow women to share their personal testimonies to the glory of God.

 

Weekly Bible Study/Discipleship:  Women’s Bible study is ongoing throughout the year.  Studies range from six to twelve weeks on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. or Thursday mornings at 9:30 a.m. (child care available).  New studies usually begin in August, January and June.  Past studies have included authors such as Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Jennifer Rothschild and Mary Kassian.  Future studies will be announced through the church bulletin.

 

Showers of Joy Ministry:  The purpose of this ministry is to bless church members of at least 6 months who are experiencing a first wedding or first pregnancy within marriage with a wedding or baby shower.  Showers are held in the women’s ministry room on designated Wednesdays from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.  Forms are available from the women’s ministry director to request a shower for a member who meets the criteria.

 

Partners for Purity:  Partners for Purity is an overnight event designed to equip middle and high school students with the Biblical basis to live a life of purity before God.  Through the partnership of parents, church leadership, student ministry and the students themselves, teens participate in Bible study and activities to help them develop and maintain sexual integrity.

 

Ladies Christmas Extravaganza:  By far, the Christmas Extravaganza is one of the biggest endeavors of Women’s Ministry.  Held in November on the last Friday before Thanksgiving, church ladies elaborately decorate tables for friends and family to participate in an evening of elegance and sophistication.  The men of our church add to the evening by chauffeuring ladies directly to the door and then serving a delicious catered meal.  The highlight features a Christian speaker or entertainer who brings a special message based on the theme for the evening.  Speakers from past events include Babbie Mason, Brenda Robinson, Iris Blue and Connie Hopper.  With almost 1000 women in attendance, this event serves as our largest outreach event of the year.

Special Days:  The purpose of this ministry is to help plan, promote and prepare for special days throughout the church year.  Events such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Homecoming, Family Fun Days and Global Impact Missions conferences are enhanced through the efforts of these selfless servants.
