Our mission in Women's Ministries is to enable women to fully receive God's love, grow in Christ's likeness, to worship and serve Him with all our being. We want to provide a place for women to grow to intimately know Christ and each other. It is our desire that as women participate, they will deepen their ability to contribute fully to the building of God's kingdom.

Blanchard offers several opportunities for women to be in community together. For more information on any of these ministries, please contact Cheryl Baird at  (630) 653-1555 , ext. 223.

Women In the Name of Christ

Women INC is a diverse group of women who gather on Wednesday mornings from 9:15-11:00 a.m. to support, encourage and challenge each other as they grow in their love and knowledge of God. This is accomplished through studying God's Word as well as various other book studies that help us to become better women of God.
