Women's Ministries
The Lake Union Women's Ministries Department is here to serve our local conferences and their churches in helping and equipping our women to become involved in at least one area of ministry or service. We also encourage our women to be a part of evangelism outreach programs, to be involved in their community and to reconnect with women and their families who have stopped attending church.
We know that before we can do ministry and or evangelism, we must first each be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is only achieved by spending personal and dedicated time alone with God. God is our strength, our guide and our joy, looking forward to the day when this work will be ended and we see our loving Savior and Redeemer face to face. Until then, Adventist women will work together whenever and wherever we are needed within the Lake Union or around the world.
