Our Purpose

The purpose of the Women In the Church is that every woman know Christ personally and be committed to extending His kingdom in her life, home, church, community, and throughout the world.” (taken from the WIC Resource Manual published by the Christian Education and Publications Committee of the Presbyterian Church in America)

Our Philosophy of Ministry

The WIC philosophy of ministry is grounded on woman’s helper design. “The Lord said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him’” (Genesis 2:18). God models the role of “Helper” by community and compassion. God enters into a covenant relationship with His people (community). He comes to our aid, comforts us, and is merciful toward us (compassion). These acts touch our souls because nurturing relationships and extending compassion to those in need are part of our creation design. Our design equips us to demonstrate community and to be channels of compassion in our marriages, families, churches, communities, and throughout the world. This concept has application to women as individuals, and it also gives definition to the purpose statement of Women In the Church. The WIC ministry strives to bring a deeper sense of community and compassion into the home, church, community, and world. (Taken from writings by Susan Hunt.)
