The North American Division Women's Ministries Department seeks to encourage women in their walk with the Lord and provide training and opportunities for them to use their spiritual gifts for the glory of God in the home, the church and the community.

The following are the specific areas we are focusing on during the 2006-2010 quinquennium:

1. Spirituality

Every woman in the North American Division experiencing a radical, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ

2. "A Ministry for Every Woman"

Every woman in the Church being involved in some kind of ministry (service)

3. Leadership training for women

The Passionate Leader (unions partnering with NAD Women's Ministries for training events)

GC Women's Ministries Leadership Certification, Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4

4. "Tell Your World"

Mission projects in your community, conference or union

Evangelism in North America by women

Being intentional about inviting women from the community and non-attending members to all your women's ministries activities

Involvement in your community

5. Abuse: prevention, education and healing

6. Reclaiming women (and therefore families) who have stopped attending church

7. Mentoring and involving young women, girls and teens
