WIC • Women In the Church

WIC Purpose Statement

The Women in the Church, as a ministry of the First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, seeks to glorify God and serve Christ’s kingdom on this earth.  We believe that the entirety of Scripture is inspired and infallible and is to be our guide for faith and life.  We seek to support our Session and ministers in their God ordained roles as leaders and shepherds of this body through participation in worship, discipleship, and outreach; and we seek to promote the church’s peace and purity as we co-labor in the work of the church. 

The Women in the Church, understanding the unity we have in Christ, seeks to unite FPC in Christian community by helping all our women know and apply increasingly the teachings of Scripture in all areas of life and by seeking to involve them in meaningful communion by equipping them for ministry, service, and care.  The goal of this ministry is to aid in the spiritual growth and care of those within our community of faith and to pass our faith along to succeeding generations, both physical and spiritual, teaching them to promote the welfare of Christ’s church, both locally and worldwide

 

The Primary Goals of the Women In the Church are:

1)  that our women be taught and increasingly apply the teachings of Scripture so that God would be glorified in our lives, 
2)  that we, through the faithful stewardship of our time, talents, and treasures, involve our women in meaningful community and service with one another so that Christ would be glorified through acts of encouragement, mercy, and compassion,
3) and that we equip our women to support our leadership in the work of the church through worship, discipleship, and outreach so that our church could be found faithful in service to Christ.
