Women are uniquely called and gifted to reflect the beauty of the gospel. We want every woman to experience the deep and abiding love of the triune God, have a firm grasp on the gospel of Jesus Christ, grow in understanding and handling Scripture, be inspired to grow throughout her varying seasons of life, and employ her individual gifts to love and serve others—in the church, home, workplace and community.
The Women’s Ministry complements other ministries of Covenant Life and provides opportunities to build friendships, teach and learn from one another, and warmly invite guests to participate.
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDIES
1. RUTH
Most of us like a good rags-to-riches story, especially one that includes a bit of intrigue and a moving tale of love. We can easily get lost in a narrative where, at the beginning of the story, heartache reigned, but it was soon replaced by joy. Perhaps we’re drawn to these tales because they not only provide an escape, but hope.
Many of us struggle through seasons of bitterness, tears, and loss, wondering if there could ever be a happy ending to our stories. The story of Ruth affirms that yes, there is hope. However, it's not found in a happy ending scribed by a novelist’s pen, but in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off of us for even a moment.
In this 7-session study from Kelly Minter, we'll examine Ruth's journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy. We'll see how God proves Himself faithful as the One who rescues, revives, and restores.

2. HABAKKUK
In just three short chapters, the prophet Habakkuk makes a transformative journey. From helpless despair over the rampant violence and sin all around him, Habakkuk follows the Lord to determined and steadfast rejoicing in the God of his salvation. With Lydia Brownback’s trusted Flourish guide in hand, we’ll examine the challenging concepts of God’s wrath and judgment and consider “why God allows pain and illness… how he deals with unrepentant sin… [and] how to wait faithfully for God to answer prayer” (from the book description).

3. BEHOLD and BELIEVE: Exploring Jesus's "I Am" Statements in the Gospel of John
(The info below is taken from thegospelcoalition.org)
Seeing is believing. If we want to know who Jesus is and why he is important to our lives, we need to take a closer look at what he said about himself. Jesus describes himself as the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd, and more. His bold words invite us to behold him―and then to trust him.
Whether you’ve never read the Bible, have followed Jesus for years, or find yourself somewhere in between, this Bible study will help you explore the question, Who is Jesus? Using the “I Am” statements in the Gospel of John, authors Courtney Doctor and Joanna Kimbrel demonstrate how to observe, interpret, apply, and reflect on key Bible verses about Jesus’s identity. Weekly prayers, memory verses, brief commentaries, and discussion questions help women to see Jesus, trust him alone for salvation, and proclaim his goodness to others. This study teaches individuals and groups how to observe, interpret, and apply key Bible passages about Jesus’s identity.
