Network of Women Ministers
She simply believed that she, with everyone around her, had a contribution to make.
We, at the Southern New England Ministry Network believe that too. This is the reason the Network of Women Ministers exists. To help the women of Southern New England make the contribution that God has laid on their heart to bring change to hearts of the men and women in MA, CT and RI.
The Network of Women Ministers exists to train, resource and connect credentialed women ministers in order that they might fulfill their God-given calling to the fullest potential.
NWM LEAD TEAM
We are a group of women from various background in ministry, with a common desire to see the current and potential credentialed women of Southern New England fulfil their God given calling to the fullest potential. Please feel free to reach out to anyone on the lead team with questions, suggestions or input. It is an honor to serve you.

TRAIN
The image of God is best reflected, and the Church of Jesus Christ is healthiest, when both men and women are empowered to fulfill their calling at every level of ministerial leadership.
We were created uniquely and intentionally, with talents and strengths that can empower us to faithfully live out our purpose. By understanding and developing our personal strengths, we can actually be the kind of leaders we are meant to be: people who serve others and who act on the God-given opportunities around us every day. If you are interested in sharpening your giftings, learning from other women who have gone before you, and developing as a leader, the following trainings have been created just for you.
Mastermind Groups
Mastermind groups are small groups of 4-6 women gather together (remotely) once a month via Zoom to listen, grow and challenge one another both personally and professionally. Each participant has 15 minutes to share a challenging leadership issue that they are experiencing, a decision they are needing to make or an obstacle they are trying to overcome. The time together then becomes a brain storming time when other people that are not “in the thick of it” are able to look at the situation and offer insight. These groups tend to birth tremendous friendships, mentorship and community.
20/20's
Our 20/20’s were designed with the working woman in mind. These leadership intensives offer 20 mins of teaching and 20 mins of discussion. One of our SNE female leaders will present on a variety of relevant leadership topics. Join us once a month for our 20/20s. Can’t join us live? No problem! We will record each session so you can play back at your own convenience; maybe with a cup of coffee or during your lunch break! You choose!

Mentoring with Northpoint
Mentorship is a vital tool to help young ministers develop in their calling. That is why the NWM is partnering with Northpoint Bible College to establish a mentorship opportunity for female students, called into ministry. Students will be paired with a trained, SNE credentialed female minister who will connect with the student once per month. These mentoring conversations will take place by phone, facetime or in person when possible.
If you are interested in being trained as a mentor, please inquire by clicking the link below.
