Women's Ministry
Willingdon provides a place for women to grow with like-minded women who are walking together to better understand what it means to follow Jesus, be changed by Jesus, and lead others to Jesus. The Women’s Ministry is here to connect women to God and to each other.
Upcoming Events & Gatherings
Get Connected
Welcome to Willingdon Women’s!
The Latin phrase coram Deo means “living before the face of God” – in other words, to “live one’s entire life in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God” (R.C. Sproul). Our hope is that as Willingdon Women, we can learn how to live coram Deo by studying God’s word, learning to hear and obey the Holy Spirit, connecting and praying with each other, and serving our community.
This spring, there will be opportunities for us to grow coram Deo through biweekly Bible studies (offered Tuesday nights and Wednesday mornings), quarterly Saturday morning gatherings, prayer meetings, and a mentorship program. We hope that you will join us!
Bible Study
Tuesday evenings, starting Feb 11 – May 6 (biweekly), 7pm–8:30pm
Attendees are responsible for purchasing their own Bible study book via Amazon or Lifeway.
We will be going through Priscilla Shirer’s Bible study, Discerning the Voice of God. Through 7 sessions, explore how humble obedience is the foundation for experiencing clear and daily communication with God. Learn how surrender unlocks His many blessings intended for us, centers us in His will, and helps us discern His voice in everyday life.
Bible Study – Moms Connect
Wednesday mornings, starting Feb 12 (biweekly), 9:30am–11am
If Tuesday evenings don’t work for you then give Wednesday mornings a try!
We will be following the same curriculum timeline so you won’t miss a beat! This setting welcomes babies, toddlers, preschoolers and even your homeschooler! Everyone is welcome, hope to see you there!
Connect
We will gather on Saturday mornings (once a quarter) to enjoy each other’s company, spend time in the Word, and participate in activities and/or service projects for those in need. These gatherings will be open to women of all ages from every nation. We encourage you to invite others, including friends, colleagues, family, and those who do not know Jesus and/or desire to connect with other women as part of a community who desires “to know Jesus Christ personally and carry on His Ministry”!
SAVE THE DATE for our first gathering on March 15th from 9am–12pm!
Prayer
Prayer is an important aspect of all that we do at Willingdon! It reminds us we don’t do life on our own. We need God’s help in all aspects of life. For this reason, after each session, we have set aside a physical space for you to process what you are learning, journal your thoughts, and have someone pray for you if needed. In addition to these prayer sessions, we will be organizing Prayer events throughout the year, which will include interactive prayer activities, creative prayer walks, and journaling. If prayer is not easy for you, come grow with us and discover the beauty of communicating with Father who longs to hear from you!
Mentorship
Our intention is to provide Biblical Generational Mentoring following the example set out in Titus 2:1-5. The aim of Biblical Generational Mentoring is for an older Christian woman to invest in the life of a younger sister-in-Christ, encouraging them to walk and grow in obedience as a disciple of Jesus Christ. It is a confidential relationship between two believers who prayerfully seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and use the Bible as their foundational textbook. Mentoring is intentional time spent together dealing with important, personal topics as the mentee seeks support from the mentor to better understand Scripture and practically apply it in their own life of discipleship.
As Proverbs 27:17 says, “iron sharpens iron.” We hold the Word of God as our plumbline, checking our heart attitudes and actions against it (Heb. 4:12) as we are trained in righteousness and equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17). More information coming this Spring!
On behalf of the Willingdon Women’s Ministry Committee, we are excited you will be joining us and look forward to opportunities for us to live coram Deo!

Mom's Connect is a weekly meet-up of moms with their little ones who are looking for some meaningful connection while navigating through the joys and struggles of motherhood.
Mission Circle
We support missionaries from our church and other mission agencies worldwide. We make various items (school kits, blankets, hygiene kits, etc) and distribute them to where they are needed. Join us for a time of fellowship and work. No sewing skills needed as there are always other things to do.
Betrayal and Beyond
This weekly support group helps women who have experienced sexual betrayal and broken trust in their relationship or marriage find healing through Christ and discover that they are not alone.
Freedom Session
Freedom Session is a 28-week intensive healing-discipleship journey that will lead you to face the truth about yourself, your life, and the destructive relational patterns you use to protect your heart but ultimately bind you. Through this journey, the Holy Spirit will uncover the roots of pain in your life and invite Jesus Christ to heal those areas of your heart.

Unraveled offers weekly group support for women on their recovery journey, helping you understand your story, address unwanted behaviors, and discover your identity in God with practical tools and a safe community
