2025 Women’s Ministry Plan
Cultivating Godly Women
St. Benedict’s Anglican Church strives to lead women into a flourishing relationship with Christ and to provide a space for the women of our parish to exercise their innate gifts. We honor the gifts given to women by the Holy Spirit for building up the Church and laying the foundations for the future. The flourishing of our parish depends on gifted lay women participating in fruitful ministries in service to the Church, in their own families, and within the larger family of God. These ministries, carried out in partnership with those of men, both lay and ordained, reflect the order of God’s creation and serve to build up the Church both in the present and for the generations to come.
