Women
at Grace

Our

Vision

We believe that ministry to and through women is happening wherever women are present—whether through Connect Teams, Outreach, Grace Church Kids, Grace Church Students, Community Groups, Care & Recovery, or Ezer.

We also see the value in short-term discipleship opportunities centered around a small group experience. Our Ezer ministry includes studies (based on topics we fell threaten our spiritual maturity) as well as equipping events that are rooted in Scripture and strategically oriented around current issues that we all struggle with. Our desire is for women at Grace to go through each of these studies and engage with our Ezer resources in order to live a life of intentional discipleship. We don’t expect you to continue to do these studies over and over again, although it may be helpful to revisit them from time to time. Rather, we want these resources to equip you to know how to strategically live out your calling.

How we each live out our calling will be based on our own individuality and season of life. But each one of us has a unique contribution to make. The temptation is to use our strength, experiences, and resources for our own benefit and comfort. What would it look like if instead, we faithfully stewarded our individuality and deployed ourselves to the world around us? We want to help you do that!

Our Studies

We have created resources that bring the truth of the Scriptures to issues of feminine design and identity; the power of a woman’s words for life and death; a biblical view of the body and faithful stewardship of it in a body-obsessed culture; God’s design for sex and living with sexual integrity regardless of your season of life; and the pervasive role of shame in the life of women.

Ezer groups are meant to be supplemental, not serve as a substitute for community group. Our desire is to equip women for life-on-life discipleship in these key areas of their lives by providing the truth of the Scriptures, helpful language, and practical application with the goal of life change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the Ezer studies based on specific themes related to our femininity, sexuality, bodies, words, and shame?

We want to bring the truth of Scripture into common areas of struggle that may hinder growth in spiritual maturity. We want to heed the charge from the writer to the Hebrews to “throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles” (12:1 NIV) so that we may run the race with endurance.

How do women get connected with each other if there is not a more structured and long-term “women’s ministry”?

We believe life change happens best within the context of personal relationships. Therefore, we place high value on being relationally connected. We believe this happens both organically as women intentionally pursue relationships with one another, through serving together, and through the various opportunities we have to be connected in biblical community through both short and long term discipleship.

Should a woman take Ezer studies over and over?

Our goal through the Ezer studies is life change. While it may be helpful to retake a specific study occasionally, such as after a season of life changes for a woman, we do not believe a woman needs to do Ezer studies over and over again.

Ezer Applied, a discipleship journal is also an option for women who have completed the Ezer studies. This journal helps integrate the foundational truths in the Ezer studies to help women reevaluate how to steward their strength and energy or reexamine their concerns and responsibilities. Ezer Applied can be done individually but is best when shared with a group, friend, or mentor.

What does Ezer offer other than studies?

Our desire is that women will invest their most effective discipleship energy into the people God has placed in their community group or other form of biblical community. We would love to see women deployed in such a way that they would use their time and resources with an outward focus—whether that is leading others through a study, serving the local church in various ministries, serving within their community, or discipling and mentoring other women.
