DISCIPLES WOMEN
The Disciples Women (Formerly, The Christian Women’s Fellowship) is a ministry that offers women in Central Christian’s congregation opportunities to fellowship with one another and to serve those in our congregation, community, state, nation and the world. The national organization will be celebrating the 145th Birthday of its founding in October of 2019.
The Purpose of the Disciples Women:
To provide opportunities for spiritual growth, enrichment, education, and creative ministries to enable women to develop a sense of personal responsibility for the whole mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.
The Scripture for the Disciples Women:
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29: 11-13
