Women's Ministry

"Romans 12: 1 ...offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship"

What are we about?

We want to empower women of all ages to be leaders, encouragers, helpers and growing in relationship with God and each other. At MBC, we want to lift up a generation of women who are true worshippers, using their gifts and talents to serve those around in them.

What is our Vision?

To see women of all ages, economic and cultural backgrounds being empowered, lifted up, blessed, encouraged and loved: spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.

To mobilise SPIRIT-EMPOWERED ministry through women in South Africa today.

How?

Word Connect:

Teaching the Word of God and training in daily experience and dependence on the Holy Spirit. There are 15 different Ladies  LIFE Groups which meet to study Gods Word. Material used includes that of Beth Moore, Jill Briscoe and Kay Arthur - all skilled Bible Teachers. Our groups meet once a week but challenge one another to get into God's Word on a daily basis.

Generations Connect:

This is an intergenerational ministry, creating opportunities to serve and to grow. It is a channel for encouraging friendships across age groups and for reaching out to the Community. Meetings are held at sunset each term, encouraging women of all ages to attend. We also have an annual Conference or Weekend Away.

Friend Connect:

Mentoring is encouraged and takes place on a 'one-to-one' basis. Material is available to equip our Mentors. Contact Tere at the church for more details.

Leaders Connect:

Leadership training is implemented twice a year to encourage and equip our women leaders. Opportunities are created for leaders to exercise their spiritual gifts.
