New Life Church Women’s Department consists of boards, auxiliaries and units which provide teaching, training and ministry opportunities. We foster spiritual, emotional and intellectual growth by continually creating, implementing and updating programs for all ages of women, youth and children. The Women’s Department is a supportive arm of our Pastor and the Vision God gave him for such a time as this. We also endeavor to maintain a focus aligned with the vision of the District, Jurisdiction and National Church. We are committed to the values and biblical principles and foundation of holiness with participation and monetary support.
The women of New Life are affectionately referred to as GEMS. We adopted the acronym G.E.M.S., which stands for God’s Empowered and Mighty Servants. (Ephesians 6:10-11). A gem is a precious and valuable stone, which has been cut, polished and engraved. Many gems are priceless, as they are unique in every way, and no two are the same. There are all sorts G.E.M.S. such as white diamonds, red rubies, pretty pearls and rare black opals. G.E.M.S. take time to be perfected, and they signify affluence in the eyes of the Father. Remember that you are worth more than silver and gold, and you shine to glorify God in your exclusive and priceless beauty. Scripture tells us that we are an extension of God and made in His image; therefore, He chose to make us worthy of His greatness (Genesis 1:26-27). Remember that we are G.E.M.S. and we are fearfully and wonderfully created by Him! (Psalm 139:14).
