Calvary Bible Church of Kalamazoo, Michigan

Welcome!

Women’s Ministry is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of women in our church and in the community. Our first priority is sharing the life-changing message of Jesus Christ so each woman clearly understands how to receive the gift of eternal life. We also provide opportunities for women to learn how to study the Bible and to participate in various social gatherings so they can build relationships and feel a true sense of belonging in our church family.

We are here to help you along your spiritual journey whether you find yourself at a new beginning or are well on your way.

Our Goals & Vision

All women in our community, both churched and unchurched, have needs that only God can meet. We believe He will use the church, including Women’s Ministries, to be a part of meeting those needs. Therefore, the task of Women’s Ministries of Calvary Bible Church is three-pronged:

To LEAD women to Christ, a deeper prayer life, a better understanding of God’s Word, and a more intimate relationship with Him.

To HELP women discover their God-given gifts for ministry, determine needs in the community and church, and match those needs with their gifts of service.

To EQUIP women to use those gifts to enrich other women in the church and community.

Connecting Women

Women’s Ministries offer many opportunities to increase your understanding of God while enjoying fellowship with other believers.

Calvary Connections

Fun and fellowship abound at these social activities that are designed to provide Calvary women with opportunities to connect with each other. Examples of past events include weeknight socials, opportunities to serve, and welcome nights for the wives of new pastors.

Missionary Receptions

Special times of fellowship with one or more of our Calvary missionary women are scheduled periodically with the goals of encouraging them, getting to know them, and learning how to better support them in prayer or tangible ways. These are perfect opportunities for making new friends with women who live across the globe as well as those who live just around the corner.

Seasonal Celebrations

These special seasonal events are specifically designed as opportunities for inviting family members and friends to join in a celebration of God’s grace. An inspirational message is presented, and the speaker clearly communicates the gospel of Jesus Christ. Typical occasions for celebration are Christmas and fall harvest.

Weekend Events

Escape the every day at a women’s retreat or conference. In early March, special times of spiritual refreshment, renewal, and challenge are scheduled for Calvary women. Every other year a weekend getaway is planned, while a Saturday community conference is planned for the alternate years.

Spiritual Growth

Ladies’ Bible Studies are offered during the year on different days and at different times.

Previous Bible Studies Offered

CARE – Caring Arms Reaching & Equipping

Our CARE ministry is comprised of two branches:

Motherhood Matters

Our Mission is to publicly honor the birth or adoption of a child as a blessing from God, providing prayer and support to the families during this joyous and exciting time. Mentor Moms are available for an in-home visit and will provide families with a personalize welcome packet. This packet includes information about Women’s Ministries, recommended reading for parents, praying for your new child, and our Calvary Nurseries. Women’s Ministries also has a gift for the child to be delivered by the Mentor Mom.

Mentoring Matters

Our goal is to live out Titus 2 by partnering spiritually mature women with those just starting on their spiritual journey. Mentor partners meet to pray, study the Bible together and support each other in day to day living as women, wives and mothers seeking to lead lives pleasing to God.
