Women’s Ministry

We seek to bring glory to God by helping women grow in their personal knowledge of Christ, equipping them for ministry, and providing opportunities for building meaningful relationships with other women.

Remembering God's Faithfulness

This year, our theme is Remembering God's Faithfulness.

As we walk with Christ, we all have a tendency to forget His faithfulness, especially during dry and weary wilderness seasons. In times of hardship, uncertainty, or waiting, we can lose sight of God's past provision and His present promises. Together, we will learn to remember who God is, what He has done, and why His faithfulness gives us hope for today.

It is our prayer that every woman would experience the steadfast love of the Lord through the study of His Word, cultivate meaningful relationships, receive mutual encouragement, and develop a deep sense of belonging within this ministry.

To that end, we offer opportunities that are both rooted in God's Word and built on relationships. Whether gathering in a large group, sitting around a small table, studying the Bible, sharing life together, or enjoying fellowship through special events, our desire is to encourage one another to think biblically and live faithfully.

This year, we are especially excited to journey together through the books of Deuteronomy in the fall and Hebrews in the spring, as one continuous study. These rich studies reveal God's covenant faithfulness to His people and remind us that He is the One who delivers, guides, provides, and faithfully fulfills every one of His promises in Jesus Christ.

On behalf of our entire Women's Ministry Team, I warmly invite you to join us for this meaningful year. Whether you have been at Carriage Lane for many years or are just beginning to get connected, there is a place for you here. We are so glad you're here and look forward to walking alongside you as we remember the Lord's faithfulness together.

Connect Gatherings

This year our Connect Gatherings will also align with our ministry year’s theme: Remembering God’s Faithfulness.

  • Tuesday, October 6, 6:30 PM

  • Thursday, December 3, 6:30 PM *This is also our annual Christmas Gathering

  • Thursday, February 11, 6:30 PM

  • Tuesday, April 13, 6:30 PM

Hospitality Houses

Hospitality Houses are opportunities for fellowship within small gatherings in homes of women in the church. These are fellowship-driven gatherings to encourage and get to know one another better.

Discipleship Groups

For women who desire a more intimate setting, we offer four weekly discipleship groups. Because these groups are intentionally small, they provide a unique opportunity to build deeper relationships, encourage one another, pursue loving accountability, and engage in meaningful discussion as we grow together in our walk with Christ.

To help cultivate this kind of community, we ask participants to make regular attendance a priority whenever possible. Each woman's presence enriches the conversation, strengthens relationships, and encourages the other members of the group. If you anticipate frequent schedule conflicts or expect to miss many meetings throughout the year, we kindly encourage you to consider one of our larger Bible study options, allowing these limited spaces to remain available for women who are able to participate more consistently.

Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and each group will close once it reaches capacity.
