How Can Women Thrive In The Local Church

Experience the Fullness of God’s Grace in the Local Church

Many new believers have questions about what it means to live as a Christian in the context of a local church, and pastors are looking for resources to pass along to their congregations to help them think biblically about the Christian life. Church Questions is a series by 9Marks that seeks to provide Christians with sound and accessible biblical teaching by answering common questions about church life. Each booklet offers biblical answers and practical applications with the goal of nurturing healthy church practice and commitment.

Women are constantly bombarded with advice related to self-empowerment. But in the midst of all of this advice, what does it look like for women to truly thrive as Christians? In this short booklet, Keri Folmar presents 8 essential principles to help women fully engage in the context of the local church, such as prioritizing church membership and involvement, investing in meaningful discipling relationships, and not allowing conflict or bitterness to fester. Through this resource, women will come away with helpful ideas on how to experience the fullness of God’s grace as they seek out biblical community with other believers.
