The CEP women’s ministry trainers’ purpose is to encourage and equip PCA women to think biblically and live covenantally. We currently have seven women who have been equipped and trained to serve in this training program. The training sessions are designed for all the women of PCA churches. Specific application is also given to women’s ministry leadership teams. Material presented:

• Helps a women's ministry accomplish the objectives of Biblical Foundations for Womanhood.  
• Teaches women a Biblical perspective of their relationship with Christ, family, and church. 
• Challenges women to fulfill their helper design. 
• Helps women examine the implications of the covenant in their relationships. 
• Trains women to cultivate community by becoming the Titus 2 women that nurture one another for God's glory. 
• Trains women to be channels of compassion. 
• Equips women for leadership roles in the women's ministry of the church.

What will a trainer do for our church?
Trainers will help your local women's ministry leadership team:

• Evaluate your existing ministry. 
• Understand the implications of the covenant in a women¹s ministry. 
• Consider their calling to serve in the women¹s ministry. 
• Build community on the leadership team. 
• Use a covenantal approach to develop a common vision, goals, and strategy. 
• Integrate the women¹s ministry with the total vision and ministry of the church. 
• Work through nuts-and-bolts issues such as developing a Titus 2 program, Bible studies, special events, and ministries of encouragement and compassion. 
• Determine a rotation plan to keep continuity and forward movement in the ministry.

Who should attend a training session? The women's ministry leadership team. You may also want to invite women who are interested in serving on the leadership team as well as male leaders who have oversight for women¹s ministry in your local church.

How do we schedule a trainer to come to our church? Get approval from your session, and then contact the WIC office: wic@pcanet.org or 678-825-1146.

Can churches or presbyteries partner with each other to have a trainer? Absolutely! We encourage this.

How long is a training event? When you schedule a trainer, she will work with you to determine the length and format of the event. You may want to have her speak to all the women and cast a vision for women¹s ministry, and then work with the leadership team.
