| The
Department of Women's Ministries exists to uphold,
encourage, and challenge Adventist women in their
pilgrimage as disciples of Jesus Christ and members
of His world church. |
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:
- elevate women
as persons of inestimable worth because they have been
created and redeemed
- enable women
to deepen their faith and experience spiritual growth
and renewal
- build networks
among women in the world church to encourage bonds of
friendship and mutual support and the creative exchange
of ideas and information
- mentor young
Adventist women, encouraging their involvement, and creating
paths for them as they reach for their potential in Christ
- address the
concerns of women in a global context
- bring women's
unique perspectives to the issues facing the world church
- seek expanding
avenues of dynamic Christian service for women
- 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--
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.
