 Everything you need to know about how to stay connected with the Bethany Church Women's Ministry

2024 RSVP to save the dates is live!

We are planning various opportunities for you to fellowship with other women of Bethany, and we hope you can join us for some of these!  RSVP is requested so that we can properly plan supplies and setup, but if your plans change last minute, you can still attend.

Generally we have a breakfast at 9am on the second Saturday January - November.  Exceptions are the Women's Afternoon Tea in May, which is at 2pm, and the Youth Missions Panel in August, which is at 10am (in deference to letting the teens sleep in an extra hour).

At these breakfasts you have the opportunity for fellowship, but also for ~6 of them we aim to have an event centered around an annual theme to promote spiritual growth.  The 2024 Theme will be announced at the breakfast on January 13.

In addition to breakfasts, we also have service and social activities to allow us to build our community.  We want all women to be connected to Bethany in some way, whether that's through small groups, volunteering in a ministry, or attending women's ministry events.

Finally, we usually have a few larger spiritual events that we attend together - IF:Gathering is an annual simulcast event, and this year we've purchased 25 discount tickets to see Priscilla Shirer in Reading in April.  In the past we've hosted conferences and planned retreats, which is usually organized by a special committee.

Our Mission: Bethany Women's Ministry exists to encourage women through God's love by providing a welcoming and supportive environment.  We cultivate spiritual growth by sharing God's Word and following Jesus' examples.  We build community by offering all women opportunities to connect and develop relationships.

Our Vision: Bethany Women's Ministry is a Christ centered community that seeks to ensure women in all seasons of life attending Bethany feel connected and are engaged.  We will host quality activities, events and platforms that promote spiritual growth in their personal relationships with Christ, family, church and community.  

Our Motto: No Woman Left Behind
