  • WHAT IS WOMAN 2 WOMAN (W2W)?
    Welcome to W2W - Woman to Woman... The Women's Ministry... A ministry to women... for women... about women... growing in friendships and our relationships to Christ!


    Each of us has a little bit of Martha in us and a little bit of Mary in us. Both parts are necessary in our lives, yet many times we can be so busy that we become way too much like Martha and not enough like Mary. This causes us to become off balance in our lives. In Luke 10:38-42 Christ encourages us to "choose the better part" which is exactly what Mary chose. Let us be sure to take the time to choose the better part and sit at the feet of Jesus each day and soak in His love and blessings as we immerse ourselves in His Word. If you are feeling a bit out of balance take a moment to breath, take a moment to sit at our Lord Jesus' feet and be renewed in every area of your life. Join us for the Bible studies and fellowship events and draw closer to the woman here at Christ Church, and most importantly draw closer to our Lord.
    What is Woman 2 Woman in Christ (W2W)?
    W2Woffers an assortment of activities for women to aid in your ability to grow in your faith and your walk with Christ. We know that each Woman of CEC is longing for fresh, fun and Christ centered relationships, and want to find ways to connect with other women. W2W is a slightly new approach to our women's ministry. We are casting a new vision for reaching and connecting with the women in church. We want it to be fun as well as fulfilling, where you can giggle and grow. Where you grow spiritually and emotionally and live with purpose and passion for Christ!
