Cary Alliance Women’s Ministry


Our purpose in women’s ministry is to encourage every woman in our church to be an imitator of Christ. We desire to walk in love as Christ did, to be a fragrant offering and sacrifice as we serve together in our church, our community and our world.    Ephesians 5:1


Women's Ministries at Cary Alliance Church this past year included Bible studies, prayer groups, MOPS, kinship groups, special events, and retreats.


Together on Planet Mom
“Where two or three come together…
there I am with them.” Matthew 18:20

Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) The purpose of MOPS is to meet the needs of every mom (urban and suburban, stay-at-home and working, teen, single, and married). Moms with different lifestyles all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS is about celebrating motherhood, meeting needs, making connections and experiencing God's love. MOPS provides encouragement and fun, small group discussions, creative activities and nurturing child care, all from a Biblical perspective. MOPS meetings are the first and third Wednesdays, 9:30-11:30 A.M. September through May at the church.


One of the mothers in our current MOPS group recently shared about her family and how she came to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and how it is continuing to strengthen. It was recorded and you may listen to it now. mp3 download



Bible Studies for Women

You may sign up for the following studies that begin Monday, February 22nd at the Women's Corner in the Gathering Area. Classes will begin at 9:30 AM and nursery care will be provided for children from birth through age 4 years for the morning studies only. Books may be purchased at Lifeway Books or can be ordered online from Christianbook.com

  • Lies Women Believe: and the Truth that Sets Them Free — a 10-week study by Nancy Leigh DeMoss that will be held fireside in the Gathering area. Ann Clarke will facilitate.

    We all, like Eve, have experienced defeats and failures, trouble and turmoil. We have experienced selfishness, anger, envy, and bitterness. And we ache to do things over, to have lives of harmony and peace. In Lies Women Believe, Nancy exposes common areas of deception. She sheds light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God’s grace, and how we can counter and overcome Satan’s deception with God’s truth.

  • Stepping Up: A Journey through the Psalms of Ascent — by Beth Moore, begins Monday, February 22nd in Room 112. This seven week study will be offered at 9:30 a.m. with Kelley Miller and Maggie Chapman as facilitators, and again at 7:00 p.m. with Beth Gregory as facilitator.

    This detailed study of Psalms 120-134 offers opportunities for personal reflection and worship, as we explore the background/writer of each. Just as a song or poem can express feelings of fear, doubt, hope, and joy, these 15 psalms model how we can voice our own petitions and praises to our God.

Women's Missionary Connection It is our purpose and joy to support and pray for Alliance missionaries. We generally meet on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m., but dates may change for special events. We also maintain a Missions closet, attend a spring retreat at Ridgecrest, and support service projects such as providing supplies for the Bongolo Hospital. If you have a heart for missions, then WMC is for you! Contact Ruth Ann Stikeleather.


Women of Prayer Our heart's desire is that each lady will prayerfully seek the Lord. We're excited to see what our Lord will do as we look to Him for guidance in becoming faithful intercessors lifting up our church, the persecuted church, our nation, our families/friends and ourselves in prayer. If you love to pray or want to learn more about prayer, please contact Beth York (467-7567) for more info about our prayer groups.

'Devote yourselves to prayer...' Colossians 4:2


Kinship Groups Groups meet twice monthly to grow closer to God and each other. Contact Connie Heintzelman. Times and dates vary.


Monthly Birthday Luncheon Don't miss this opportunity to come and celebrate with ladies born in the same month. To join the fun contact either Dot Cadmus or Ann Clarke.


Christmas Tea An opportunity to invite friends and neighbors to ponder and consider the true meaning of Christmas. Contact Ali Harton or Melanie Ensman.


Women’s Spring Retreat We always enjoy the fellowship of going together as a group and worshiping together at the Ridgecrest Lifeway Conference Center near Asheville, NC.
