To foster a gospel-centered community among the women of the church in service of our corporate mission, inviting people to new life in Jesus.
The purpose of the ladies prayer group is to provide an opportunity for the women of Staunton Alliance Church to enrich their prayer lives, to offer praise to the Lord, and to present petitions on behalf of the body of believers at Staunton Alliance Church and individuals within it, our families, missionaries and international workers, the persecuted Church, our nation and its leaders, the world, the sick, the unsaved, the unborn, and ourselves.
To uplift the church body by showcasing the beauty of each season.
To coordinate refreshments and meals for fellowship during church events and to provide a clean, organized, well-stocked kitchen for the church.
To plan and administer Bible studies for women of the church and community. Generally, there is a Winter/Spring study and a Fall study offered. (This is separate from the Bible Study Fellowship. SAC is one of BSF's satellite locations.)
To provide support to SAC members and regular attendees through practical means, such as meals, cards, and flowers during times of extended illness/hospitalization or death of a loved one. The Care Committee will also organize and oversee the College Care ministry providing support, encouragement and prayer for students.
To prepare the elements for communion on the first Sunday of each month and for special services.
The Deaconesses will serve by providing spiritual support, encouragement, and leadership for the women and the women’s ministries of Staunton Alliance Church for the purpose of our church’s mission statement: inviting people to new life in Jesus.
