Vision

Ladies' Ministries at His Place Community Church serves every woman that attends this church and is a platform for outreach to the women in our community.

This ministry models a fruit tree with deep roots in the Word of God and prayer and a solid trunk of values and structure that keep it standing strong. It is an organism that can grow in exciting directions as new needs and opportunities arise.

The main "branches" of the Minis-tree are the ladies that choose to accept a position on the steering team. These are women that feel that God is calling them to use the gifts and talents He has given them to serve the women at His Place. Each branch has its twigs and leaves, so the work does not stop with just the steering team. Instead, the work is spread out to lighten each person's load while developing as much "fruit" as possible.

The "fruit" are the blessings the Lord chooses to develop through our minis-tree. The possibilities are endless and only the Lord knows what delicious fruit He can create through us. It will range from the fruit of the Spirit evident in women's personal lives (Galatians 5:22) to other amazing benefits like new relationships with the Lord, maturing faith, discovering a hidden skill or talent, or developing a friendship of love and accountability with a sister in Christ.

This "Minis-tree" is rooted near the Lord, the constant and refreshing Stream of Living Water; all fruit that comes from it is through Him. Deepening the collective roots of our faith in the Lord through study of the Word and prayer helps us to avoid trying to create fruit by our own efforts.

Ladies' Ministries events and programs (both large- and small-scale) offer the women of His Place the fertile soil they need to individually grow closer to Jesus with all their hearts, souls, minds and bodies.

Just as trees experience seasons and need pruning, so this Minis-tree will go through fluctuations and need maintaining care. Evaluating all Ladies' Ministries activities will help us to ensure we are doing the most with the time we have. An occasional pruning may be necessary as we find events or programs that are not accomplishing God's purposes for the women in our church.
