| OUR
FOCUS: PEOPLE & MINISTRY
Personal Development Ministries provides opportunities for each woman to become and develop as
God's person; deepen her faith, develop her gifts and become a more effective Christian
disciple and steward. (Romans 12:1-2)
Church and Community Ministries provides opportunities for women to build God's faith community;
develop relationships and meet the physical and spiritual needs of others in their homes
and their communities. (Ephesians 4:15-16 and Luke 4:16-19)
Mission and Service Ministries provides
opportunities for women to serve God's world; participate in American Baptist mission
outreach and meet the physical and spiritual needs of others in our nation and in God's
world. (Mark 12:28-34)
YOU ARE INVITED...
We invite all women of the Charleston
Baptist Temple to participate in American Baptist Women's Ministries. We encourage
each woman to participate according to her own needs, interests, and gifts as led by the
Spirit of God. We have no other purpose than that of the church; to proclaim Jesus
Christ and to witness as his disciples in missions at home and abroad.
We meet two Thursdays a month:
-
The third Thursday at 12:15 PM for a
luncheon and program, and
-
The first Thursday for most Circle
meetings.
Call the church office (346-9627) for
more information.
Our Circles
We are organized into nine circles and
cordially invite you to become active in one of your choice. Come, join in the small
group fellowship which affords each of us an avenue to grow, and to effectively show our
concerns for the church.
