The Gathering: Hope for Messy Relationships
July 19 9:00 - 11:00 am
The purpose of Women’s Ministry is to glorify God by participating in the process of making disciples of women who will impact their families, their church, their community, and the world for Christ. Women’s Ministry strives to see women increasingly grow in their love for and devotion to God through the grasping of God’s word and the loving care of one another. We host gospel-driven gatherings and studies throughout the year to foster this flourishing in the context of a Christ-centered sisterhood, as well as the entire church family.
Gatherings
We gather periodically throughout the year at Simply Women, The Gathering: A Workshop for Women, and Christmas Gathering. We understand that walking into a gathering of church women can be exciting, scary, confusing, or a mix of these and other emotions. We have felt that way too. Yet we are confident that God brings us together for his glory and our good, and so we are inviting you to become a part of our sisterhood united in and centered on Christ. Contact us if you have any questions or would like someone to walk in with you!
Simply Women
At Simply Women, we meet on a Friday evening in a relaxed setting to learn from God’s Word, build relationships, and get equipped to be ministers of reconciliation.
The Gathering
At this workshop-style gathering, we explore how to live out the implications of the gospel, so that we would treasure Christ more, cultivate a gospel community, and stir one another to love and good works.
Christmas Gathering
The Christmas Gathering in December brings church women and the community together to celebrate Jesus’ coming, and to enjoy the fellowship that comes with being united to him and his diverse family.
Bible Studies
Because we are confident in the Bible’s authority and sufficiency in our lives, we gather in Women’s Bible Studies to grow in our knowledge, understanding, and love of God through His word. In our studies, women from all walks of life, from new believers to women who have studied God’s word for many years, gather to study entire books of the Bible from start to finish. Together we strive to comprehend, interpret, and apply God’s word in a way that leads to heart and mind transformation. Through the elements of personal study, large group teaching time, and small-group discussion, our Bible Studies seek to cultivate holiness in our lives, Bible literacy, and a Christ-centered sisterhood. Our studies run every spring and fall, in February and September; it’s our simple rhythm of faithfully studying God’s word together.
Studying God's Word Together
In Fall 2025, we will delve into the Old Testament book of Jonah using the book Jonah: God’s Relentless Grace, by Lydia Brownback. During this session, our Golden Hills Women’s Study teaching team will lead you in discovering God’s unwavering and persistent love, as well as His sovereignty, mercy, and forgiveness in this book. Through study at home, large group teaching, and small group discussion, you will better understand the depth of this short book and see how it points toward Jesus’s death and resurrection.
Moms Growing Together
A ministry for moms
Moms Growing Together is a community of moms raising kids of all ages. Our mission is to walk alongside moms as we grow together in our love and understanding of Jesus, encouraging one another in motherhood and life and becoming better equipped to teach and nurture our children toward godliness. All moms from Golden Hills and the surrounding area are welcome!
This fall, the morning group of Moms Growing Together will join the Women’s Bible Studies in their study of the book of Jonah. We will meet on Tuesdays, September 2 through November 4, from 9-11 a.m. Registration is required, and must be done through the Women’s Bible Studies form.
Meanwhile, the evening group of Moms Growing Together will continue digging deeper into God’s word and seeing His heart for women and their roles in His amazing plan for redemption. We will study the women of the Bible using a book called Brave and Beloved by Meredith Storrs. This group will meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, from September through December. Unfortunately, there will be no childcare provided so we ask that only nursing infants attend. Come be refreshed by engaging book discussions and through deepening relationships with other moms and mentors.
