Women's Mentoring


      Mentoring is a process much like coaching.  A mentor works with several women at the same time to help them grow toward spiritual maturity under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Recently developed, Women's Mentoring is helping women invest time and energy into developing spiritual disciplines. Small groups utilize a combination of Biblical study alongside a course book such as "A Woman After God's Own Heart" and "Loving God With All Your Mind".

      Each woman sets personal goals for each discipline and makes their own plans to accomplish those goals.  She budgets time, resources, materials, and schedules time to practice each discipline.  At the weekly meetings, each woman shares her goals and plans. The philosophy behind Women's Mentoring stems from Ephesians 4:11-13 where spiritual leaders are instructed to equip the rest of the church for the work of the ministry.


[Christ] gave some to be …pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

                                            Ephesians  4:11-13  (NIV)

Women lead this ministry at Hauser and are supervised and directed by the senior staff and Pastors.


MENTORING PLAN

1.     Our vision is to train and equip mature women in the Hauser Community Church to be mentors so we can provide mentoring for every woman in the church 17 years old and up.

2.     We desire to help each woman grow and develop into her full God given potential.

3.     We aim to help each woman until she in turn is mentoring others.

 

OUR STRATEGY

1.     To meet weekly as a group for about 90 minutes over a 17 week period.

2.     Each meeting involves discussion and application of the material we have read as it relates to that weeks discipline.

3.     Following each meeting each woman will determine a personal application for her own life.

4.     Bible verses will be memorized during the 17 weeks that apply to the specific spiritual disciplines.

5.     We take time each week to pray for each other and our specific needs.
