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.
mission
Our mission is to mobilize women to fulfill their ministerial call. Scripture Basis: Acts 2:17 NIV “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”

allow younger generations to see God's spirit poured out on all flesh.
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.
Purpose
• 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.
• Raise theological awareness—we lean into scripture in order to shape our practice as a minister and leader in order to educate and enhance theological awareness.
• Leadership Development—we facilitate opportunities for women to enhance their skills and grow in leadership. NWM is committed to coming alongside District and Networks in order to equip women in ministerial and leadership
competencies.
• Normalize women and men working in ministry together—having women and men serve together is not an anomaly and does not need to be announced. It’s Biblical and it's a normal practice for our AG family.
How Do Accomplish Our Purpose?
• We come alongside Superintendents, and their District/Network to identify their goals and ways they can interface with female ministers.
• We equip credentialed women to engage in the vision of their local district/network as they are mobilized in their God given call. We partner with and equip District/Network NWM Representatives to strengthen the body of women in ministry at the grassroots roots level through our four-fold purpose.
