We encourage you to join us for one of our Bible studies in the fall or spring, or attend a gathering at your congregation! We’re also always looking for women to serve, mentor, and lead in other ministries across The Austin Stone. You can directly contact your congregation’s Women’s Ministry representative to better understand the needs and available opportunities to serve!

Discipleship is both personal and communal, so we believe it’s essential to create events that foster relationships among one another. When women come together for conversations, shared meals, and Bible study, God does amazing things. All our events seek to help us magnify Jesus in our lives and spur us on in faith.

Here are a few regular Women’s Ministry events:

• Congregational Women’s gatherings vary in frequency and content, but are always great opportunities for connection and growth alongside women in your congregation! We believe that regardless of life stage, or what you’re currently celebrating or lamenting, there is a place for you with us!
• Our Women’s Retreats take place throughout the spring and offer women the opportunity to spend extended time together around a biblical text or topic. The weekend features worship and teaching led by Austin Stone leaders, as well as intentional opportunities for connection and refreshment with others from their congregation.
• The Women’s Workshop is an annual one-day event that takes place church-wide in the fall, specifically designed to help women grow in their biblical literacy. This interactive seminar is an all-day training led by a trusted teacher from outside The Austin Stone.

Every fall and spring, we offer Bible study for women to participate in with others from their congregation. These studies range from six to twelve weeks long and begin in late January and mid-September. These Bible studies are designed to help women grow their knowledge and love of the Bible. They include guided homework, class lectures, and group discussion times.

Congregations also regularly host a variety of classes during the fall and spring semesters, which can include equipping opportunities for new moms, book clubs, and more.

We encourage and hope to foster discipleship at The Austin Stone through groups that meet regularly. These groups typically include women and men. You can contact your congregation’s Connection Director for next steps on how to get involved with a group at The Austin Stone.

We also recommend participating in one of our semesterly women’s Bible studies as a supplement to your spiritual growth in community!

We love books and podcasts, but we ultimately hope to point you to the Bible and community for discipleship and spiritual growth. That’s why our studies focus on helping you know, love, and obey God’s Word with others and developing skills for personal Bible study!

Our Women’s Mentorship Network introduces mentors to potential mentees. 

• If you’re a partner of The Austin Stone and are interested in mentoring another woman in our church, please fill out this form! 
• If you’re looking for a mentor, we’d love to help you find someone to connect with. You can fill out this form to get connected.

Please note that, due to the limited number of available mentors in our network, we require potential mentees to be already involved in a missional community. We will also prioritize women who are partners of The Austin Stone.

Our counseling center provides direct biblical counseling services, as well as groups and classes. They also have resources for walking through infertility, infidelity, post-abortive care, recovery, and more.

We’d also love to get to know you and connect you to pastoral care in your congregation if needed. Contact your congregation’s Women’s representative or the Women’s Ministry directly at women@austinstone.org.
