Women’s Ministries (NAD)

This upcoming Sabbath is Women’s Ministries Emphasis Day—a special Sabbath to celebrate the meaningful contributions women make in their homes, churches, and communities. Every day, women step up to minister in ways that truly matter, following the words of Jesus in John 13:34 to “Love one another as I have loved you.”

They minister across generations with compassion and purpose—praying, mentoring, discipling, and comforting those walking through life’s hardest seasons. Whether organizing health fairs, abuse prevention workshops, or teen mentorship programs, women create opportunities for healing and growth, as well as hosting gatherings that foster joy, laughter, and fellowship. Women deliver meals, provide household goods for struggling families, and support cancer patients.

They lead evangelistic efforts, facilitate Bible studies, and help other women grow spiritually. In both quiet moments and public spaces, women are the hands and feet of Jesus—living out His love in practical, powerful ways.

Women’s Ministries empowers women to grow as leaders by offering training, resources, and spiritual development to help them serve more effectively. 

Recognizing that education is a key part of leadership, Women’s Ministries supports collegiate women attending Adventist universities through the Women’s Ministries Scholarship Fund. 

When you give to Women’s Ministries, you’re investing in lives transformed by women committed to loving like Jesus. Join us in empowering women to serve, grow, and lead in the name of Christ.
