Webinar: Women in the Mission of the Church

Description:

Women have been central to the work of Christian ministry and actively involved in the growth of the worldwide Christian church from the time of Jesus to the twenty-first century. Yet the story of Christianity is too often told as a story of men.

This webinar will explore the lives and experiences of faithful women throughout church history, demonstrating their integral participation in the church’s mission. It will highlight the legacies of a wide variety of women, showing how they have overcome obstacles to their ministries and have transformed cultural constraints to spread the gospel and build the church.
