Hey, Women's Ministry Leaders!

Women’s ministry is a powerful way to disciple women and point them to the hope of the Gospel. We know that it may look different from church to church—ranging from a small group Bible study to a full blown, multifaceted ministry. No matter the structure, the heart remains the same: helping women grow in Christ as they worship, grow, connect, serve, and share life together.

Arkansas Baptist Women exists to equip women’s ministry leaders with resources, consultation, strategy, and relational conversations as leaders disciple and encourage the women of their church in the Gospel. 

We’d love to connect with you!

Building the Foundation | 5 Keys for Effective Growth

We've developed 5 Keys for Effective Growth to assist you as you create and refine a women's ministry program in your church. This resource outlines five basic keys to establishing an effective plan for ministering to women, then builds upon this foundation with varying levels of growth. The keys are Worship, Grow, Connect, Serve, and Share. 

These keys not only provide a guide for planning, they also provide an evaluative tool in the planning process. A fully developed ministry plan should incorporate all five keys and challenge women in the local church to take part in all of them.

Annual Events

Each year, we host a handful of key events. Check them out below!
