WOMEN’s Ministry Purpose & goals

Spirit of Grace WELCA extends an open and warm welcome to all women to join us in the study of God’s word.  We live our mission by educating and mobilizing women to act boldly in their faith in Jesus Christ by serving others.  Circles meet monthly to study the Bible and to work on service projects.  Twice a year we gather for a Christian themed luncheon.  Spirit of Grace WELCA is affiliated with Grand Canyon ELCA Synod and participates at their annual conferences and retreats.  We also support the Church-wide WELCA organization that publishes the GATHER magazine and supports various ministries. 

If you are interested in participating in this ministry, please contact the Spirit Of Grace office at 623-977-6000.
