Women’s Ministries
The mission of women's ministries is to glorify God by multiplying God-centered, Christ-exalting, world-transforming women through the Gospel in the greater Chicago area and around the world. Specifically, it is our goal to support the leadership and ministry of the church by helping women to know Christ as Lord and Savior and establishing gospel-centered relationships with other women who will equip and encourage them to live for God's glory.
We encourage all women to participate in a LIFE Group, as well as the other opportunities listed below. If you are new to the church, or would like help finding your place in the body of Christ, feel free to email me or call me, 224.764.4017.

Spring Event: Beauty out of Ashes
March 16, 2012 - 6:45-9 PM
Join us to hear Angela Yuan share personally how God took seemingly hopeless stories - a drug and sex addicted son, a strained marriage, a woman on the brink of suicide - and transformed them into stories of redemption, reconciliation and hope. We encourage you to read Angela and Christopher Yuan's book Out of a Far Country to hear their entire story.

This one-year discipleship course is designed to foster intergenerational relationships among women who love God's Word and desire to know what it means to glorify God as described in Titus 2. Our mission is to encourage and equip older and younger women, both married and single, to live for God's glory in every area of their lives. We meet five Thursday evenings in the fall, and five evenings in the winter/spring. Our curriculum includes Becoming God's True Woman (several authors), and Spiritual Mothering by Susan Hunt.
