MISSION STATEMENT
To explore the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal and
physical health issues of women, empowering them to promote the
primary mission of Philoptochos, which is to live and spread the
gospel, through philanthropic works.
GOALS
Total
Woman
The
broad goal of Women’s Health and Wellness is to view the total
woman and the interconnectedness
of her spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical and
psychological needs. Her
joyful attitudes, perspectives, struggles, experience,
discernment, wisdom and opportunities are also part of the
definition of the total woman, shaping her mental and physical
health.
Healthy
Spiritual Life
At
the core of a woman’s
total wellness is a healthy spiritual life based on a growing
relationship with our Lord. To
develop this spiritual wellness we seek to promote daily
Bible reading, study and prayer, in addition to fellowship
with Christian women and an active church life.
Uplifting
One Another - Mentoring and Modeling
We
are developing a ministry program within Philoptochos to promote
learning from one another. The
book clubs within this fellowship will provide an environment for
women to learn about the books studied and to support each other
through mentoring and
modeling.
Biblical Principles in Daily
Life
By
understanding biblical life principles we can greatly improve how
we navigate through our daily lives. We will look at scriptural
topics relevant to real life, such as: purposeful living,
communication, relationships with each other in ministry as well
as parenting, marriage, and other timely issues.
METHODS
Conferences, Book Clubs/Fellowships and
Website
The
Women’s Health and Wellness is a resource for teaching women
about healthy living through conferences, Bible and book studies,
websites, resources and each other.
