The Vital Role of Women in the Church

church

At Lakeview Christian Church of Portage Lakes, we are committed to being the change as Jesus has changed us. A significant part of this mission involves recognizing and celebrating the vital role women play in our church and the broader Christian community. Women have been instrumental in the church’s growth and development, serving in various capacities with compassion and love.

Study: Biblical Examples of Women in Ministry

The Bible is replete with examples of women who have served God faithfully. In the New Testament, we see women like Priscilla, Lydia, and Phoebe, who were pivotal in the early church. Priscilla, alongside her husband Aquila, was a teacher and mentor to Apollos (Acts 18:24-26). Lydia, a businesswoman, was the first European convert and opened her home to Paul and his companions (Acts 16:14-15). Phoebe is commended by Paul as a deacon and a benefactor of many, including himself (Romans 16:1-2).

Share: The Impact of Women in Our Church Community

At Lakeview, women are integral to our community. They excel in roles such as teaching, hospitality, and leadership. Their compassion and love are evident in their interactions with children, fellow members, and the community at large. By sharing their gifts, women help to create a nurturing and welcoming environment that reflects the love of Christ.

Serve: Embracing the Call to Discipleship

Ultimately, the most important title for any believer, regardless of gender, is disciple. We are all called to be disciples of Jesus, committed to following Him and spreading His message. Women at Lakeview exemplify this call through their service and dedication. As disciples, we are encouraged to study God’s Word, share His love with others, and serve our community.

Conclusion

The contributions of women in the church are invaluable. As we continue to “Be the change as Jesus has changed us,” let us celebrate and support the women who serve so faithfully. Together, as disciples, we can make a lasting impact for the Kingdom of God.
