History...
Women’s Ministries started in 1925 in Houston Texas by Etta Calhoun, shortly after the organization of the Assemblies of God was formed. It was referred to as the Women’s Ministries Council (W.M.C.) at that time.
In 1968 the Assemblies of God officially organized the Women’s Missionary Council in Guyana.
During the 1970’s the W.M.C. was renamed the Women’s Ministries and is now familiarly known as W.M.
The Women’s Ministries Department is part of the Assembly of God Church and operates in harmony with the Church through intercessory prayer, evangelism, missions and benevolence
This department is the “mother” of two auxiliary groups,
(i) the Y’s (20years. and over) and
(ii) the Missionettes (3 years to 9 years).
Members of the department meet each Tuesday at 17:30 hrs. to conduct the department’s business and any other business relating to the local fellowship or sectional and national events.
Activities are planned to help equip our women to:
- fulfill the mandate given by God “to tell the good news” and
- enhance entrepreneurial skills which includes
- monthly prayer and fasting
- exhortation / sermonettes
- visits to shut-ins and delinquent members
- discussions on spiritual matters, current events, general health and feminine issues
- service projects
- educational tours
- craft and cookery classes
- fund raising
National Women’s Ministries day is observed on the last Sunday in February every year.
