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.
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—Reach Up to God
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 build networks among women in the world church to encourage bonds of friendship and mutual support and the creative exchange of ideas and information
3. Mentor young Adventist women, encouraging their involvement, and creating paths for them as they reach for their potential in Christ
Empower—Reach In with God
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—Reach Out with God
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

Nurture, Empower and Outreach
“A Ministry for Every Woman: Touch a Heart, Tell the World” is a program developed by General Conference Women’s Ministries to advance the work of sharing the gospel using the methods that Christ used.
Giving focus to our work of equipping, training, and inspiring women to serve, this program provides guidelines, ideas, and resources for each of these three areas of ministry:
-
NURTURE: Reach Up to God—To help women in their devotional time and personal growth, enabling them to be nurturers in the church and community.
-
EMPOWER: Reach In with God—To equip women for their activities and projects for the church and community.
-
OUTREACH: Reach Out with God—To help women use small group fellowship and evangelism to reach others in their community.
