Ministry Purpose

    The purpose of this Ministry is to give women a sense of belonging, becoming and blessing at Leonardtown Baptist Church.  Our goal is to bring together women of all ages and stages for edification and service opportunities.  We desire to help women to grow and mature in their walk with Christ, so they are better equipped to nurture and serve in their families, to enrich the church through service, and to evangelize their communities. (Titus 2:3-6; 2 Tim 2:2)
