Ministry to Women

Please take a look at the rich variety of ongoing ministries that we offer to women. See below for a summary explaining each aspect of Women's Ministries in greater detail.

Connexion Cafe
All women are invited to attend Connexion Cafe to build relationships with one another.  We believe strong relationships can only be built as we are transparent and authentic.  
Connexion Cafe is either held the first Monday of each month from September through May (with the exception of long weekends), or it is held on a Saturday morning (brunch format).

Ladies Bible Studies
See the EVENTS page for scheduling and registration details!

Women to Women Mentoring
This mentoring opportunity is designed to connect women for support and encouragement.
Mentoring is for you if…

• you are entering a new season of life. A mentor will give you guidance from the perspective of someone who has been there before.
• you have questions about the Christian faith. A mentor will allow you to ask questions, discuss what you are learning, and grow more quickly as you journey with your mentor.
• you are going through a painful valley. A mentor provides someone to lean on who understands the pain of losing a job or a loved one, or the challenges of raising teen children (just to name a few!).
• you desire growth in a certain area of your life. A mentor will give you someone you can talk to, pray with, and work through different areas of your life.

A mentor is a practicing Christian who has the desire to let her life be an example and godly role model. A mentee is a woman who wants to grow in her walk with the Lord or in a certain area of her life and/or is in need of encouragement and comfort. Woman of all ages are welcome to be part of this ministry!

M.O.P.S. (Mothers of Preschoolers)
We meet from 9:30am to 11:30am (or 6:30pm to 8pm) on the third Tuesday of the month, from September through June.
You don’t have to mother alone! Young moms experience so much change.

• Life change
• Career change
• Body change 
• Identity change

And lots and lots of diaper changes.
MOPS is a unique gathering place for moms to connect and develop meaningful, life-changing friendships with other women in the same challenging phase of life.  
Join us on the third Tuesday morning of the month @ OEFC where we visit, chat about relevant topics geared towards young moms, learn new parenting insights from speakers, and sometimes even make crafts!  
Please see our facebook page for up-to-date info on monthly meetings.
