Women's Ministries
Come grow with us . . . we meet together in efforts to know
our Savior and one another through Bible study, social events,
training, service, prayer, and fellowship.
Objectives
The Commission's primary mandate is to provide information
and advice to the officials of the Church on issues related
to and of particular concern to women of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church. The Commission will work cooperatively through the
Conference with established boards, committees, and organizations
to offer coordinated and comprehensive advice to General Conference
policymakers. Conceptually, the Commission is a catalyst for
improving the potential and full utilization of the resources
of the women of the Adventist Church, thereby maximizing the
advancement of the Church's Mission.
