Baptist Women have lots of great resources for you!
Whether you are leading a church, a women’s ministry, a small group, or just passionate about women’s ministry, we’ve got some resources for you.
Baptist Women Leaders Clusters
Throughout New Zealand we are encouraging women church leaders in Baptist contexts to gather together in clusters for support.
Tuakana – Teina mentoring program
Tuakana – Teina (older sister – younger sister) is a walking alongside so the conversation between two people is a two-way street. From a mentoring perspective this means there is not so much pressure on the mentor to be an expert but to listen well, to help unpack and together find steps forward.
Ideas for local church women’s groups
There are good reasons to have events or groups within local churches just for women. His page has some ideas under the categories of relating, one-to-one, and events.
Speakers for events
The following women are available to speak at events around New Zealand. This list is a work in progress – we welcome you to contact us to have you or someone else considered to be on this list.
