Connect with Others and Enrich your Ministry

We desire to provide networking opportunities for women ministers and those preparing for ministry in the Mount Vernon Nazarene Region that enable them to connect and share insights with others. In so doing we hope to develop an authentic community where like-minded women can build meaningful relationships that enable them to fulfill the roles to which God called them.

First, determine what you are looking for in a mentoring relationship. Define your strengths and your needs. Determine to be authentic, don’t let image get in the way of building valuable relationships. Finally, decide to commit to the relationship. Friendships that energize us require commitment. When you are ready, complete the following survey and email it to nazarenewomeninministry@yahoo.com where it will be prayerfully matched with other surveys.
