Men’s and Women’s Ministries

Women’s Ministry

Women’s Ministry Opportunities

  • These groups are opportunities for women to read and dig deep into a Christian book and develop relationships with 6-8 others. These intentional communities meet in people’s homes over the course of 6 weeks. Participants should commit to attend at least 5 as an intentional way to establish consistency and build relationships.

  • Women of the Word is a monthly women’s discipleship group for women ages 16 and older with the primary goal of growing women’s biblical literacy and spiritual matuirty through the study of God’s word and prayer.

As our church grows, so do opportunities for men and women to connect, serve, and grow together. Some ministries and events are planned by the Board of Women or Elders, while others begin with men and women in our congregation who see a need and are supported by church leadership. We welcome new ideas to create meaningful opportunities for men and women in our church. Women, reach out to boardofwomen@capitalpresfairfax.org. Men, reach out to Executive Director, Stephen Last, at stephen@capitalpresfairfax.org.
