Women's Ministry at GCC

Women's Ministry at Gladstone Christian Church exists to provide a Christ centered environment in which women share their God-given talents and connect with other in fellowship and service.

If you are a woman who is interested in sharing your love of Christ and your special talents and ideas, Women’s Ministry invites you to become a part of its ministry team. 

Meetings occur monthly on the fourth Monday, September through May, at 7 PM. Please contact the Church Office for location. 

Throughout the year, Women’s Ministry oversees a number of activities and encourages your participation in whatever capacity that best suits you. Planning meetings are held once each month (on the fourth Monday) in various women’s homes and consist of a brief business meeting, devotional thought, refreshments and the opportunity to fellowship and make new friends.

 If you have questions about Women’s Ministry, please call Janie Blackman (503-654-1906) or Dixie Lawrence (503-656-2510).

Special Events

Women's Ministry sponsors a Christmas Dinner in December for seniors and Secretary's Week in April.  In addition, social events are sponsored throughout the year to provide an opportunity for women to network and visit with one another.  These gatherings depend upon the creativity and talents of women who volunteer to plan them.

Wedding Receptions

Wedding receptions are staffed by volunteers who work in shifts to insure that the Community Center is set up, that beverages and food are prepared and served and that everything is cleaned up and put away after the reception.
