Women's Ministry

Women Unite is the name for the Women’s Ministry Program here at Cokesbury. Women Unite name as well as the logo wants to portray that it is for ALL women no matter age, hair color, skin color, spiritual maturity, marital status or parental status – you just need to be an adult female and to come as you are. The vision of this ministry is to love women into a relationship with Jesus Christ by offering opportunities for spiritual growth and service while developing authentic relationships. Women Unite is also a way to bring all of the existing women’s programs together under one umbrella so that we can work together to grow in Christ and to glorify Him. Some of the Women Unite events are going to be fun and lighthearted and some are going to be more spiritually enriching.  Check out below some of the things we offer!
