Young Women's Christian Council-COGIC Alabama One

The YWCC Organization

The Young Women"s Christian Council is an organization of young women, 18-40 married or single, whose prime purpose is to dedicate themselves in an effort to give greater Christian service. This is the training and development center for the Women's Work in the Church of God in Christ. The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) Here they are trained to be auxiliary leaders, prayer warriors, good homemakers, lovers of their own husbands, ministers? wives, and mighty women in Zion.

There is no limit to the contributions of the Church's mission if this group is well organized. They should be an asset to the local church, the pastor, the district, the state and also the national work. The YWCC is an alert group of women, close observers who are on the lookout for opportunities to minister and to express themselves in constructive ways.

In addition to spiritual growth and development, there are other matters that are of vital concern to this age group: Find a mate, home building, decorating, meal planning, child care and development, teenage problems, marital problems, divorce, in-laws and many others. This group will explore the Christian approach to these life situations as well as discuss the Christian mode of conduct which must be practiced.

This organization promotes the idea that women can be actively involved in other areas of the church. Carrying on her work in the Young Women's Christian Council need not prevent a young woman from working in the educational departments of the church, such as the Sunday School and YPWW, or other departments or auxiliaries.
