o Develop a network through which women in ministry can find support and encouragement from other ministers, learn about opportunities for ministry, and receive assistance and counseling regarding specific aspects of ministry
o Identify obstacles encountered by women called by God to public ministry, and to identify ways to reduce or eliminate the negative impact of those obstacles.
o Help women identify their specific calling and prepare for their respective areas of ministry.
o Function as a resource center for women in ministry, and
serve as a conduit for informing and helping them through
the licensing process.
o Model effective, Spirit-led ministry in the body of Christ.
o Explore ways women ministers can more actively participate
in the full life, ministry and governing of the church.
o Raise the consciousness of our churches around issues
related to women in ministry
