What we do
Women serve as important leaders in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Their spiritual, emotional, physical and social needs are of huge importance. The Women’s Ministries Department supports programs that help women rise to their full potential as leaders in their homes and communities. The department backs mentorship and academic scholarship programs for young women. It also hosts events around the world opposing domestic abuse and other violence against women.
Vision
Women empowered and nurtured to fulfill their God-given potential.
Mission
Our mission is in the larger sense common to all Christians – That of uplifting Christ in the church and in the world. But more specifically, we are called to:
Nurture
1. elevate women as persons of inestimable worth because they have been created and redeemed
2. enable women to deepen their faith and experience spiritual growth and renewal
3. build networks among women in the world church to encourage bonds of friendship and mutual support and the creative exchange of ideas and information
4. mentor young Adventist women, encouraging their involvement, and creating paths for them as they reach for their potential in Christ
Empower
1. challenge each Adventist woman with her potential to complement the gifts given to other women and men as they work side by side to further the global mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church
2. bring women’s unique perspectives to the issues facing the world church
Outreach
1. seek expanding avenues of dynamic Christian service for women, that out of the fullness we as women have personally found in Jesus Christ, we may be empowered to share the good news within our families, among our fellow believers, and in ever expanding circles in the unsaved world
