| Our
Mission The Christian Women's Council (CWC) of the Church of
God in Christ acknowledges the responsibilities of the Unit as set forth in "The
Purpose of the CWC." The essential role of the Christian Women's Council
is to provide its membership, those women above the age of 40 who are "babes
in Christ" as well as those who are identified as "seasoned saints,"
a dynamic and Godly forum whereby members are given the necessary training, instruction,
encouragement, as well as the natural and spiritual support by which each is inspired
to meet God's standard of Holiness. It is that forum where women are challenged
to strive for excellence with Godliness, where all are taught the imperative of
integrity in word and deed in every area of their lives; in the home, in marital
and family relationships, in the church, as well as in their spiritual, natural
and financial support of the church and in work done in the communities. Other
essential components of the Christian Women's Council mission are:
To inspire women to use God given gifts
and talents to maximize the effectiveness
of the units, bands and auxiliaries
in the church; for their own spiritual
well-being, for a personal sense of
accomplishment, to experience the
satisfaction and joy that comes from
unselfish giving, for the spiritual,
natural and financial well-being of
the church and for the up building
of the Kingdom of God.
To provide an opportunity for women to learn
and/or to better understand the purpose, the value and the results) of the work
of Godly women in the home, in the church and in the community.
To encourage healthy, stable, happy and
enduring marital, home and family relations.
To develop and implement innovative, Holy
Ghost inspired, effective programs for the natural, spiritual, financial support
and growth of the church.
To equip women with the necessary spiritual
and select natural tools essential for spiritual growth.
To prepare women for effective, efficient
supportive and leadership roles.
To prepare women to meet the challenges
of this complex age to the saving of their souls, the souls of their families
and the souls of countless others.
To teach women to recognize their divine
destiny, according to the Word of God, and initiate and support activities that
result in securing and retaining ones spiritual heritage.
To cultivate among women relationships characterized
by mutual respect, trust, confidence and a shared interest in the work of the
Lord, in souls, in life development and in the welfare of people at large, especially
those of the "Household of Faith."
The goal
toward which the Christian Women's Council continues the good fight of faith is
that we are vessels fit for the Master's use, that we are instrumental in the
daily addition to the church of "such as should be save," and that we
lay hold onto eternal life. The means by which we shall attain the goals identified
in this Mission Statement are by embracing, in faith, with reverence and obedience,
every Word of God which is our rule of faith and practice, and through the guiding,
enabling, wonder working Power of the Holy Ghost. Our ultimate goal is to hear
our Savior say, "Well done ...." |
