Celebrate the Mission

Welcome to the official North Carolina Conference Women’s Ministries page. On this page you will be given access to information about the Women's Ministries program in the North Carolina Conference and WM events. As well as being designed to help local Women's Ministries, this page has been constructed to provide personal enrichment and encouragement for the spiritual lives of Christian women. Links on this page will also provide access to other resources which are of importance to serious disciples of Jesus Christ.

Women's Ministries has a mission to women who need and who desire to serve Christ. For this reason each year the International Pentecostal Holiness Church Women's Ministries adopts a theme which guides the activities of the Women's Ministries. This theme provides a foundation for spiritual growth and evangelism.

If you would like to know more about the events that have been planned by the North Carolina Women's Ministries or if you would like more detail on the scheduled activities than are provided in the Calendar, then you will need to visit the events in detail page. Although it will be sometime before we are able to accept online registration fees, please check out our registration page. You may print the applications directly from the site. On this page we encourage you to let us know online about your plans, submit articles and news for the WM page of the Evangel, or simply make comments about Women's Ministries. You may even want to ask questions or seek advice about local Women's Ministries needs.

One last thing before you check out our other pages. If want to know about what the other Women's Ministries in North Carolina are doing please go to the WM News page. You may find ideas here that you can use with your local Women's Ministries or may simply find personal encouragement and help.

Please look for this link on the International Pentecostal Holiness Church Women's Ministries page located at www.women.iphc.org. This is where you will find information on how to begin a local Women's Ministries and more about the General Women's Ministries program. At that site you will also be able to identify the annual theme and be able to order or download materials for use with your local group.

“The bumblebee isn’t built for flying. The odds are against it every time it spreads its too-shallow wing span. But every time it lifts its too-heavy body into the air, it defies those odds. And you to can defy the odds. Like the bumblebee, you too can accomplish what seems impossible.”

“Thelma was the illegitimate daughter of a crippled seventeen-year-old, and her birth was not greeted with great expectations. Growing up in an age governed by segregation and Jim Crow laws, she had little reason for high hopes. For years, she was subjected to discrimination, disappointment, and many other obstacles. Thanks to a godly great-grandmother, she was never embittered or overwhelmed by limits others might try to impose on her.

As you read her book, you will find yourself believing that you too can be the best of what you want to be.”
