Women
Mission Statement
“Our mission for Mt. Tabor Women of God is to grow personally closer to the Lord, through obedience to His word. Serving each other with love, respect, encouragement and sharing our joy of salvation with the community.”
Philosophy
- We believe all women are important in God’s eyes and are vital in His Kingdom.
- We believe in unity within the diversity of our group and cooperation and caring through the inspiration and power of the Holy Spirit.
- “Let the old women teach the younger women.” Those who have spiritual maturity from years of discipleship and experience are to help those walking after them. Women need to be with Godly faithful women. It is important we promote and make opportunity for such relationships.
Purpose
The purpose of Women’s Ministries is to glorify God by challenging women
- To know God personally.
- To grow in Christ likeness.
- To discover and use spiritual gifts.
- To love and serve others, and
- In all we do to reflect the beauty of the Lord Jesus Christ. Women’s ministries are a call for wise and faithful instruction combined with deep-seated compassion and sisterly love. We are to nurture, facilitate, and support women in their Christian lives as disciples of Jesus Christ and members of His church.

Committees and Duties
Programs & Meetings
We outline the year and assign all who volunteer to be a hostess a month. The hostess has the option of hosting the meeting at the church. All meetings are held the third Thursday of the month from September – April at 6:30pm. During the monthly meeting we have a small lesson, fellowship, discuss ideas for future events and report on the previous month. If you are just curious you can attend and just observe or participate.
Social Services
Most generally all community projects will be completed by the group as a whole, such as preparing fruit baskets for the elderly. As more projects are added this committee will grow.
Food and Kitchen Committee
Plan meals for funerals and parties. We are planning on going outside of MTWOG to ask for additional help from all ladies of the church to contribute food dishes for funerals. Parties included are listed below. Make sure kitchen is supplied with all necessary items.
