Women at the Well

Women at the Well, the women’s ministry of IAC, has at its heart the desire to provide a community where women can be discipled and encouraged in their pursuit of the heart of our God, and in the living out of that faith in their lives.

Obviously, there is not a prescribed formula for doing that, so the leadership team of this ministry leans into prayer and listening to discern what God is designing for us in any given season. As God encourages us to be more authentic with Him and with one another, we want to find more opportunities to do that.

Currently IAC has small group studies, moms’ groups, spiritual direction opportunities, spontaneous gatherings, and relationships being built among our women.  In November of 2003 we began Women at the Well Retreats at the Franciscan Retreat Center.  We now offer these one day retreats in Advent and in Lent, and they are open to the women of IAC and their friends.  There are also many wonderful offerings for women put on by other churches around the area; we want to know about those, too, so we can let you know.

While we can’t know the needs of all of the women at IAC, we long for every woman to feel that she has access to a person or a group with whom to connect.  That really requires heart-networking among all of us, not just the ministry team. 

It’s clear that there are many in our midst who have things to offer – we want to hear from you and pray with you, to discern what God might be stirring.  Remember that what we have to offer one another is not limited to teachable topics or large workshops; what we have to offer can be the gift of being alongside, the gift of listening, the gift of sharing our story, the gift of laughter.  Our God is limitless.

If you want to be connected, if you want to offer, if you are gifted in networking, if you just want to say I’m here . . . e-mail us at women@iac-cs.org    We look forward to hearing from you.
