Rock Creek's Women's Ministry

A Note from Terri Evans

Hello Ladies,

As of this past June, I have resigned as the Director of Women’s Ministry. After seven years, it is time to step aside and allow for someone else to lead.

I have loved being a part of this ministry and all the times we have shared together. Our Conference Coordinator Kim Kees is also stepping down at this time to focus on her husband, Scott and their son Ryan.

Even though I will no longer be the director, I still love building relationships with women. I still want to hear from you. I would love for you to share with me your stories of how God is working in your life. Nothing thrills my soul more than seeing women take their walk with the Lord to the next level.

Terri Evans

Donna McKean named as New Director of Women's Ministry

Thank you for your interest in the Rock Creek Women's Ministry. I am excited about the journey ahead and would love for you to travel along with us.

The Women's Ministry team is in the process of planning exciting new events and opportunities for service and Bible Study. We are all very enthusiastic about the wonderful things God has planned for us!

It is our desire that through your participation and spiritual growth you will be inspired, your relationships strengthened, and your life enriched.

Out of all of the people God could have called to lead this ministry, I am certainly not the most qualified. However, God's promise in Psalm 32:8 reminds me "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." I intend to hold on to that promise with all that I am!

Visit this website for updates and information as we gear up for an exciting fall season.

I look forward to meeting each of you! God has great things in store for us. I can't wait to follow His leading as we walk together to encourage each other, minister to our community, and serve our Heavenly Father!

In Christ,
Donna McKean

RCWM MISSION STATEMENT

Rock Creek Women's Ministry believes that all women have value in God's eyes. We want to provide a spiritual pathway for growth and development by creating an environment where women can find love, acceptance, and encouragement.

We will honor God by enriching the lives of others as they reach beyond themselves to a community and a world that needs to know Jesus Christ.

"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
Proverbs 31:29-30

For those who have recently moved to Little Rock or will be moving to a new place in the near future, you will find this valuable book as important as packing tape. Like a steel dolly easing a heavy load of boxes, Susan Miller's empathetic and practical advice reminds women they're not alone. With true stories, ingenious insights, and helpful hints, this great book makes transitioning smoother so women can get on with their lives After the Boxes are Unpacked.

Living Beyond Yourself... Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit
By Beth Moore / 11 week study / Book cost: $16
You can know the freedom of a life filled with the fruit of the Spirit. In Living Beyond Yourself noted Bible teacher and author Beth Moore leads an in-depth study of the fruit of the Spirit - living proof that the Spirit of God wells in us. Through this study you'll come to appreciate the supernatural aspects of the fruit and that you cannot grow, learn, or produce the fruit on your own. Beth challenges you to develop the fruit by maintaining an intimate relationship with the Spirit of God. As you walk with God, He develops in you the fruit of the Spirit. A Spirit-filled life truly results in living beyond yourself.
