What is Women of Excellence?
Women of Excellence is an awesome tool for ministry that your church
can use to connect the women of your church to each other, to fall
more in love with Jesus, and to have a stronger relationship to your
local church. The ministry uses Christ centered books directed to
bringing women to a deeper walk with the Lord. Groups meet weekly and
are led by facilitators that use thought provoking Discussion Questions.
There are basic requirements that must be met to be Commissioned as a
Women of Excellence the first year. Every year after the First Commissioning,
their commitment is Re-Confirmed as a Women of Excellence. There are pieces of
beautifully designed jewelry that WE commemorate their journey with the Lord.
Why do you call it WE when the abbreviation is WOE?
Because Women of Excellence is US standing together as a body of
believers. By taking out the “o” we call ourselves WE, which
represents US. When we stand together we are stronger than by
ourselves. When the women in your local church stand together for the
gospel they are mightier as a body. When Women of Excellence or WE,
link across this nation and together as one we will be most powerful
in reaching this nation for Jesus Christ.
How is Women of Excellence different from other Women's Ministries?
There are many terrific ministry opportunities available. If you
search online you can find many women’s ministry ideas and activities
to put a spark in your women. But here lies the problem, sparks are
all that is available. Women of Excellence provides an opportunity to
burst forth a new way to ignite your women and to keep the flame
roaring!
What Women of Excellence does is a combination of disciple women in
their relationship with the Lord, mentor women in their daily
lifestyles, as well as develop leaders to be used by the Lord. It
allows women the freedom to excel in their gifts and use their life
experiences to encourage and help develop others in their journey with
the Lord.
Do I have to be a church to sign up with Women of Excellence?
One of the purposes of Women of Excellence is to build up the local
church. As women are connected to their home church, then these bodies
of believers can be connected to other Women of Excellence churches
across the nation. When a group is established in a church, then they
have in place a spiritual covering by their pastor.
Is Women of Excellence restricted to a certain size group?
No, you can have one group in your church. As this group grows, others
in your church will see the changes and want to be a part of this
group. The leaders will learn to be great facilitators through on the
job training. Church growth is a by product of the Women of Excellence
program.
Is there a denomination to which Women of Excellence is associated?
Women of Excellence is a non-denominational women’s ministry that
focuses on developing a strong vibrant relationship to the Lord.
