Welcome to the Women In Ministry page. We believe that women are created, called, and equipped by God to actively participate and join God in God's ongoing ministry of redemption in the world. To be women in ministry is to be one who is joyfully and purposefully pursuing her inner relationship with God and then offering herself as a vessel for God's use. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, she becomes a conduit through which God can uniquely and creatively show the love of Jesus Christ to everyone in her circle of influence - her family, her friends, her co-workers, and her fellow sisters in Christ.
What does Women In Ministry (WIM) look like at Marine View? We are a diverse group of women from backgrounds. We are single, married, divorced, widowed, retired, professionals, stay-at-home mothers - you name it! While we represent many "ages and stages" we share the common goal of growing in our relationship with God by serving others. Whether through Bible Studies, Small Groups, Retreats, Prayer Gatherings, or one of our Outreach events, the purpose of Women In Ministry is to provide unique opportunities for you, as a woman, to connect to God and others through Jesus Christ.
We invite you to browse the variety of upcoming programs offered for women at our church and in our community. We look forward to meeting you and welcome you to join us. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Blessings in Christ

Women In Ministry (WIM) Bible Studies
Wednesday Mornings, 9:30 A.M.
Study #1: Stepping Up: An Journey through the Psalms of Ascent with Beth Moore - An in depth look at 15 Psalms. Just as a song or poem can express feelings of fear, doubt, hope, and joy, these 15 psalms model how study participants can voice their own petitions and praises to our God, who is always available and ready to hear us. Explore the major feasts of Israel and journey with Beth through Psalms 120-134 in the 7 session study.
Study #2: HOPE: Your Heart’s Deepest Longing - Sometimes hope becomes so real that it's almost tangible. But other times--especially when tragedy or hardship crashes down on us--we wonder whether our hopes will break down apart and leave us exposed, vulnerable and overwhelmed. These studies explore both sides of hope--confronting doubts and fears, but reminding us of the great joy that awaits us in Jesus Christ.
