Women’s Ministry

 

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”  -Psalm 51:12

The women’s ministry at The Church of The Apostles desires to be a place where women of all ages and stages can come together to be equipped to use their God-given gifts to minister to the Church and the world.

Our vision is to see women who are committed to a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ through diligent prayer and the study of Scriptures, and who are confident in the use of their gifts so that they reach out in loving relationships, to make an impact in their world.

Bible Studies

The heart of the Women’s Ministry at Apostles are our many Bible Studies that run throughout the year. For the full listing of our current and/or upcoming studies please visit our Women’s Bible Study page.

Prayer

But you, dear friends, build yourself up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. -Jude 1:20

We are women who are committed to a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ through diligent prayer.

Are you a woman who knows that God answers prayers? If so, there are many ways to get involved with the women’s prayer ministry. If you cannot commit on a regular basis, you can volunteer to be on the prayer team for one of the women’s ministry fellowship events.

Heart to Heart Mentoring


Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. -Daniel 12:3 (NKJV)

The purpose of Heart to Heart is to support the discipleship ministry of The Church of The Apostles by helping women establish covenant relationships with godly women who will encourage and equip them to live for God’s glory.

  • We offer group mentoring. Each group has 1-2 spiritual mothers (mentors) and 6-8 mentees in each group.
  • Women sign up for a time and location that is convenient.
  • Groups meet monthly in the home of their spiritual mother(s) or at the church.
  • Curriculum is planned for 3-4 years. Women sign up each year.

There are various ministries you can be involved in together which will strengthen your relationship even more. Bible study, prayer, volunteer service, and events at the church are just a few of the many choices of ministries that will enrich your mentoring relationship.

If you are a woman seeking TRUE friends and want to grow in your walk with the Lord, pray about being in a mentoring group.

The Close-Knit Flock


that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself   -Colossians 2:2 (NASB)

If you enjoy needlework and the fellowship of Christian women, you are invited to reach out to others with the love and encouragement of Christ through a new ministry at Apostles. Our projects will include knitting baby caps for the Cobb Pregnancy Center and Kindred Spirit. Your skills are not important! We will teach you.

Quilting for Christ


We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. -Romans 12:6-8

We use donated fabric to make quilts and covers to provide comfort for those in need or crisis in the Atlanta area and through out the world.

All are welcome to join us-no matter what your sewing ability is. We will be happy to teach you how to quilt!

Location/Meeting Times: Room 511 at the Church/every first and third Thursday 12:30 – 3:30 PM.

Single Hearts for Christ

The Single Hearts for Christ is a women’s fellowship group that brings single Christian women together to enjoy, enrich and support one another.  What better place to be than with a group where people know you, pray for you and encourage you in your faith.

As we see it, every single, divorced, and widowed woman has different needs, worries, hopes and dreams. But it is certain that each one offers a plethora of experiences, perspectives, challenges and gifts.  In Christ, we have all that we need for life and ministry.

Nick Chilivis: Reflecting on 25 Years

Over the last twenty-five years, Nick Chilivis has had a front row seat to what God has been doing at The Church of The Apostles. As he reminisces about the church’s story—from his time as a member of the church’s first vestry to the church today—one theme clearly emerges: God has been faithful.
