My story is much the same, coming from a MOPS leadership position into the women’s ministry leader. These tips are spot on! Finding that person that you can bring alongside you to take your place is so important. You never know when God and life will move you away (literally for me) from where you are serving and you will hope someone will carry the torch when you’re gone.

As I was the secretary all the years and has been elected as chairlady for the 6 year term. I am so happy to have seen this to empower me and the prayer women’s league.

In reply to Rhonda.

Rhonda, the last two churches where I served/led the women’s ministry team I had only been there about 6 months before God gave me the opportunity to be a part of the women’s ministry team. I would encourage you to take the time to talk with each woman on the team – grab coffee with the one-on-one. Let them get to know you and you them. Find out what has worked well in the past and if you’re planning on making changes you may need to do so slowly. I know several times I tried to move things along too quickly and the rest of the team didn’t necessarily understand why or even see a need for change. Praying for you!

Thank you for this! I’ve served in women’s ministry for a few years, but it looks like I may have the opportunity to serve as the director in the coming church year. I’m new to this church and feel kind of young to have this opportunity, but I’m so excited and want to get off to a good start!! These points are helpful!
