Who We Are
The mission of Bridging the Gap is to share the transforming
power and love of Jesus Christ with women across Minnesota and
our world!
A woman’s approach to life and faith vary greatly from
person to person, as do the gifts and talents bestowed by the
Holy Spirit. Bridging the Gap Women’s Ministries brings
together women from across the state and helps them find the
right opportunity to share their gifts so that they can bring
the love of Jesus Christ to those around them. Along the way,
women find lasting friendships with other Christian women and
they learn how their ministry to others builds up the body of
Christ within their communities. By living life in Christ’s
example, women change not only themselves, but also the women
around them, leading others to live with the love of God.
Through this ministry, Christian women are touching the world
in a widening variety of creative ways. They are reaching beyond
personal interests and comfort zones to embrace women of all
ages, races, religions, and social standings.
So, whether you live in a rural community or a metropolitan
area, whether you want to share your gifts once or over the course
of many weeks, there is a ministry waiting for you. Take a look
at the many opportunities available through Bridging the Gap
Women’s Ministries. When you’re ready to begin your
journey, contact your local Women’s Ministries pastor or
the district office.
 Our world
is changing rapidly, and so are the needs of women. We as Christians
must be relevant to those we want to reach. Women’s Ministries
- Unlimited! emphasizes the unlimited
opportunities open to women
for ministry in their local churches and communities. Every woman should be ministered
to according to her need, and every born-again woman should be
encouraged to find her place of ministry within the body of Christ.

It’s more than a label, it’s
a lifestyle.
Many women today don’t have the time or the interest in
spending time at "just another meeting." We must reach out
to women at the point of their needs. Women’s Ministries
can do this by offering various Ministry Groups. Living like
Jesus and ministering to the needs of others should be a lifestyle
for every Christian. People want to see that the Christ-controlled
life makes a difference and gives meaning to their existence.
Bridging the Gap… believes
prayer and the Word needs to be the foundation of a women’s
life and of a thriving and growing Women’s Ministries organization.
We want to assist the local church by offering resources that
support these truths.

It’s more that a program, it’s
a passion.
We must have passionate hearts to see women discover their God-given
gifts and find their place of ministry within the body of Christ.
Without passion in our leadership, women will not develop spiritually
and their needs will go unmet. It is impossible for a leader
to be effective if she isn’t passionate about what she
is doing.
Bridging the Gap… is committed
to assist the local church to reach biblical principles, and
train and educate women to fulfill the call of leadership in
their area of ministry.

It’s
more than service, its servanthood.
Too many Christians today believe that service means "serve
me." However, true servanthood is motivated by a loving
concern for others. No greater example of this servanthood exists
than in the life Jesus Christ. Women can find many channels of
opportunity to practice servanthood. View
a list of opportunities!
Bridging the Gap… believes
the most effective and unlimited opportunities to reach women
is at the local level. We want to assist them by providing subject
matter, experts and material resources for key areas of women’s
issues.
A variety of Ministry Groups can help teach biblical principles
of leadership and practical tools for reaching and ministering
to the women of this unique generation and diverse culture.

It’s more than a meeting, it’s
a mission.
The mission of Women’s Ministries is to reach women, to
disciple them and to help bring wholeness and balance to their
lives. By providing an atmosphere for women to strengthen their
gifts and by training them to find their places of ministry,
women can successfully touch their world for Christ.
Bridging the Gap… provides
an annual retreat and conference that offers such an atmosphere
with state and nationally known plenary speakers. We provide
churches with the tools to host local events.

It’s more than a project, it’s
a purpose.
Our purpose is to fulfill God’s purpose. Paul wrote to
the Galatians, "Through love serve one another." Every born-again
woman should have at least one ministry where she is involved
in serving others. Through Women’s Ministries many opportunities
exist where every woman can be motivated to find her place of
service. If you are not involved, ask God where He would have
you begin.
Bridging the Gap… provides
unlimited ministry opportunities for churches to consolidate
their efforts as a district for the needs of others, within the
state, the country, and the world. We encourage local churches
to use their resources and be involved in community projects.
