About us
The Network of Women Ministers exists to connect and inspire credentialed women ministers, and those seeking credentials. We are dedicated to building community among our women ministers and providing leadership development opportunities. Our aim is to model Biblical leadership and service through the various ministries in which we serve. We want to partner with districts and the local church body to empower women to service within their local church, in their community and around the world through AG mission sending agencies. As the Network of Women Ministers we do not want to maintain what we currently have, we want to multiply it and with that multiply church planters, missionaries, pastors and ministers who will fulfill the great commission until we see a healthy church in every community marked by spiritual and numerical growth.
We are committed to coming alongside Superintendents, and their Districts, to equip credentialed women to engage in the vision of their district as they are mobilized in their God given call. We also work alongside and equip District NWM Directors to strengthen the body of women in ministry at the grassroots roots level through our four pillars:
-
Foster community - we are a place where women can surround themselves by a spiritual support system to receive encouragement as they walk out their call.
-
Enhance theological awareness - we lean into scripture in order to shape our practice as a minister and leader.
-
Leadership Development - we facilitate opportunities for women to enhance their skills and grow as a minister. NWM is committed to coming alongside District and Networks in order to equip women in ministerial and leadership competencies that best serve the needs of the local District/Network.
-
Normalize women and men working in ministry together.

belief statement
The image of God is best reflected and the Church of Jesus Christ is healthiest when both men and women are empowered to fulfill their calling at every level of ministerial leadership.
values
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. Romans 12:9-13 NLT
