Women
The women of MGEFC desire to be women bearing the unmistakable INSIGNIA of Jesus Christ.
And when you believed in Christ, he put His mark on you and identified you as His own. // Ephesians 1:13
He put his mark on us to show that we are His, and He put His Spirit in our hearts to be a guarantee for all He has promised. // 2 Corinthians 1:22
Jesus Christ’s mark on our lives should be distinct. The way we live our lives should stand in contrast to the world. Others should be able to immediately recognize who we belong to. Our words, our actions, our thoughts, our activities, even our demeanor should all be a reflection of who we serve, Jesus Christ. We are marked for Jesus Christ and our lives should clearly identify that we belong to Him.
So to encourage women to bear the insignia of Christ, Women’s Ministries at MGEFC provides a place for women to grow, connect and share by giving women opportunities to INSTILL truth in their hearts, INTERSECT lives with one another and INFLUENCE others for Jesus Christ.
The women’s ministries leadership team has prayerfully and carefully chosen these opportunities for women. Hopefully, there is something here that excites you and motivates you to get INVOLVED in our women’s ministries, but more importantly helps you fall more IN love with Jesus himself as you strive to become a woman bearing the INSIGNIA of Christ.
