Most of the women at Three Rivers find themselves actively participating in a small group or some other area of ministry in the church.
At Three Rivers, we work to foster woman's discipleship ministry of the church by helping women establish covenant relationships with other godly women (of all generations) who will encourage and equip them to live for God's glory. We base our ministry on Titus 2: 3-5, which states,
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled."
Paul instructed Titus to equip older* women in the congregation for the ministry of training younger women.
Our goal, then, is to equip women who are more mature spiritually to come alongside other women and become spiritual mentors. The result is Women's Ministry that builds up women when the spiritually mature women lead the younger women.
Titus 2:3-5 is not just a request to match older women and younger women. It is a part of covenant life. It is a part of the Christian education of the church.
*Note: "Older" does not simply refer to age, but to spiritual maturity and connects women with mentorship relationships.
