Encourage Supplemental Women’s Ministries

2016 Book of Resolutions, #2104

Whereas, the needs of women today are complex, dynamic, and unique in every congregation and studies show that a variety of women’s ministry programs is the most effective means of enabling and encouraging women to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ, to serve in their local church, and to serve passionately in mission outreach and justice advocacy in a lost and hurting world;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the 2016 General Conference of The United Methodist Church encourages the local church to provide women’s ministry programs that fit the unique needs of the women in the church and are consistent with our values, theology, and social principles of The United Methodist Church.

ADOPTED 2016
