women's ministry

The ZF Women’s Ministry Team is committed to the biblical vision of true community, which includes living out the "one anothers" of Scripture together (love, encourage, forgive, etc.). God’s Word instructs us toward an ongoing ethos of discipleship as we seek to help one another know, follow, and become like Jesus. These kinds of relationships are mutually beneficial, build up the body of Christ, and make much of the Gospel.

Practically this involves: 1) women of all ages and experiences opening Scripture together to study and learn, 2) older women teaching and training younger women, and 3) making intentional efforts to connect and invest in the lives of other women, being “mutually encouraged by one another’s faith.”  

While the primary places for these to happen are in small groups and intentional friendships, we also plan ministries and events to help encourage these connections. These various opportunities are intended to help foster meaningful relationships and be equipped in the Word.

A newsletter specific to Women's Ministries is emailed out on a monthly basis. This is a great way to stay in touch with the most current information on Women's Events. If you are not on this email list and would like to be, please email (office@zionsvillefellowship.org) to sign up!

Summer Studies 

During the summer months, when Habits of the Heart is not in session, we offer several opportunities for women to participate in Summer Bible Studies together. Generally, 3-4 intergenerational studies take place at varied times in an attempt to accommodate a variety of schedules and almost always meet in homes. The studies themselves are generally around 8 weeks long and take an in-depth look at a book of the Bible or a Scripture-saturated topical book. Summer studies provide a wonderful opportunity for connection, fellowship, hospitality and equipping in the Word.

HABITS OF THE HEART WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY

Want to study your Bible with women of all ages? Invite your friends, neighbors, family and co-workers and join us at Habits of the Heart, our women’s Bible study ministry. This year we will be studying The Gospel of Grace: A Study of Galatians and Ephesians. 

We meet at Zionsville Fellowship Church on Wednesday mornings from 9:15-11:15 AM and in the evenings from 7:00-8:15 PM. Infant and toddler care is offered for the morning session as well as preschool Bible classes. We also offer an elementary-age class for children attending with their mothers or grandmothers.  The children will also study Galatians and Ephesians in a format specifically designed for them. Our time together will vary but can include video and live teaching, singing, and intergenerational small group discussions.

We will begin the semester on September 10th and end before Spring Break. The cost for the entire year is $50, which includes all study materials. You can REGISTER HERE.

If you have any questions, please contact Lynn Eriks lynneriks@icloud.com (317-979-8143). Scholarships are available. We look forward to seeing you.

mugs & muffins 

Our Mugs & Muffins mornings are special events that take place twice a year (once during the spring and fall semesters respectively). We meet at the church building on a Saturday morning from 9:00-10:30 am to fellowship and grow together around a specific topic. Topics are varied and our time together always includes coffee, brunch, a speaker or panel of speakers and a craft with a time of discussion and fellowship.  The next Mugs and Muffins is scheduled for May 3, 2025.

progressive dinner 

Progressive Dinners are a new tradition that we have begun in the Women's Ministry.  Our first Progressive Dinner took place on a Monday evening in the Fall of 2022 and was a sweet time of forging connections and relationships with sisters in Christ. 

A progressive dinner is an opportunity for you to have an appetizer, main meal and dessert in two women's homes.  These homes are in close proximity to each other which allows for short and fun transitions between courses. It will be a sweet opportunity for relational depth to happen among women you may already know and for those that you may meet for the first time.  You don't need to bring any food to this event, simply show up and enjoy.  You will be notified by email before the dinner on which neighborhood you will be attending and which house you will be starting your meal.
