The purpose of Soul Care for Women is to equip women to care for their spiritual, emotional, and physical needs.
Soul Care for Women’s mission encompasses three foundational principles – encouragement, support, and love. Our mission is to help women form Soul Care groups that will embrace and live these principles.
Encouragement. The word encouragement means to give strength. True encouragement gives strength and hope to those who feel weak, uncertain or fearful. Whether in word or deed, godly encouragement lifts the emotional and spiritual wellbeing of another and strengthens them to move forward with hope.
Support. The word support means to hold firm and prevent something or someone from falling. Support can be physical, emotional or spiritual in nature. The best support meets the need of the individual and stays intact until the need is met.
Love. True love sees and serves others through the mercy and grace that Christ shows for his children. To love as God loves is unconditional and expects nothing in return. A Christ centered love is active, alive and life changing.
With these three foundational principles as our guide we want to partner with women to create godly Soul Care groups that will meet each other’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs in healthy ways.
- Help women create Soul Care groups in their church or community
- Partner with groups who would like to utilize our six week study If You Knew Her Story© which focuses on women’s thoughts, emotions and core beliefs, to begin a Soul Care group or strengthen an existing group.
- Collaborate with a few New England churches each year to bring an affordable women’s event to their church that ministers to their women and Soul Care group(s).
