Women’s Activities

Hi, I’m Sally Burton the servant leader for Women’s Ministries.  The women’s ministry vision is to see women’s lives centred in Christ, so that they are set free to be a Godly influence, where ever God has placed them.

We believe that this is possible through the work of the Holy Spirit, the truth of God’s Word and being in connection with one another.

Women’s ministry at Belconnen Baptist is not just about events and activities but it is about providing connection points along our life and faith journey.  Our desire is that these connection points will be a catalyst for authentic relationships with one another that will bring encouragement and accountability as we face the realities of life while gaining strength from Jesus Christ.

We connect with women through:

• Newsletters – A regular newsletter is produced to bring encouragement, testimonies and information about women’s initiatives.
• Town Centre lunches – Once a month women from the Belconnen area meet at Myers in Belconnen Mall for a catch up and fellowship.
• ‘Bloom where you are planted’ Prayer breakfasts – Every six weeks or so, we meet for a light breakfast and time to pray for the women of BBC and the community.  Each breakfast has a different theme offering women involved in different areas of work or facing particular issues to come and share and receive prayer.  Themes include aged care, parents of teenagers, teachers and schools, Christians experiencing persecution and supporting our missionaries.
• Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner – This year we have started ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’ evenings targeted to younger women, particularly those who may have moved to Canberra to study or work.  The vision is to provide an opportunity for women to connect with one another and meet new faces in a more intimate setting.
• ‘Her Time’ Retreat - A yearly retreat where women are challenged through guest speakers about their walk and relationship with God.

For information on women’s events that are coming up soon – go to the Event Calendar.
