The Women’s Ministry at ECPC exists to help women think biblically and live in Christian Community with one another.

Our vision is for every woman in the church to know Christ personally and be committed to extending His kingdom in her life, home, church, community and throughout the world.

As part of the women of the Presbyterian Church in America, we are part of the national organization called Women in the Church (WIC). We have the benefit of being connected to women all across our denomination and have opportunities to share resources, ideas and sometimes even events.

The Women’s Ministry comes under the authority of East Cobb's elders and is accountable to them. As women of the church, we seek to come along side of, support and encourage all the ministries of our church, but we also have events especially designed for women.

The Women’s Ministry Team selects a theme and Bible verse each year. This year’s theme is “service” following Romans 12:10-12:  Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

We offer many opportunities to not only fellowship and have fun, but also to serve and use our gifts. We want every woman (from age 19 to 99) to become involved at whatever level God calls her.

If you are looking for a place to "fit in", a place to learn more about Christ, a place to have fellowship with other women,  here is sampling of what East Cobb Presbyterian has to offer women. 

 

BIBLE STUDIES

The cornerstone of our Women’s Ministry is our Bible studies.  We believe that we only think and behave rightly as we are transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit as He applies the truth of Scripture to our hearts. Our desire is that every woman be involved in Bible study, therefore we offer in-depth studies as well as low-prep ones.    

 

Summer Study for Women

Tuesdays Together

Tuesdays Together will begin June 1 and end late August (we will not meet during VBS or July 6th). Sheryl Fikse will lead us in a study of Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.  This is a drop-in study that requires no preparation. Come and enjoy discussing our faith and how to articulate it with sisters in Christ! Perhaps you've tried to read this before and got bogged down --- or perhaps it is one of your favorite books.  The study is not just for the academic minded!  We will seek to digest and make solid applications from our study.  Join us in the library in the gym building from 7:00 until 8:30 p.m.
