Women’s Ministry
There are a number of ways for women to be connected, to grow and be encouraged at MPBC. Alongside regular Bible studies and special events for women, there are also a number of Connect Groups for women.
WOMEN IN THE WORD TOGETHER
BIBLE STUDY
This is a Bible Study for women of all ages and stages in their Christian journey. Opportunities to learn will come through individual study, sharing and discussion groups, praying together, and talks on aspects of the passage being studied which are presented by a variety of speakers.
You will be using what you learn from the Word of God in your everyday life in order to grow more Christ-like in your thoughts, word and actions.
Share time together, build friendships and dive into the Word together. You will be amazed at not only what you learn, but also how God changes and grows you.
