Rethinking Women's Ministry invites leaders to take a fresh look at their women's ministry framework through the lens of Scripture and prayer.

Find the tools you need to: - Expand the reach of your ministry - Adapt to today's culture - Engage women of all generations - Nurture transformation with grace - Effectively evaluate your ministry and events

Editorial Reviews


"If God has called you to minister to women, you need this guide! Rethinking Women's Ministry not only helps you refresh and define your mission but gives you the tools needed to create a thriving community that helps women fall in love with Jesus and truly support each other. This is the resource I've been looking for as a pastor's wife and ministry leader - I highly, highly recommend!" Joanna Weaver, best-selling author, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World


"If you're a women's ministry leader, Rethinking Women's Ministry is your essential handbook! Author Cyndee Ownbey asks the right questions, provides practical solutions, then directs leaders to seek God for how their ministry can best glorify Him. You can trust Cyndee's twenty years of experience to guide your ministry to the next level." -Leslie Bennett, manager of women's ministry initiatives, Revive Our Hearts


"Cyndee Ownbey challenges us to take a fresh look at our women's ministry framework--to authentically consider what is going well and what isn't. Passionate about encouraging and equipping women leaders, Cyndee lovingly uncovers our assumptions, traditions, motivations, and so much more as she leads us into an examination of who it is we're really serving, and how to connect with them. Cyndee's practical and actionable tips and ideas will help us find, unite, and equip our women!" Jo Ann Fore, community manager, Women Leading Women, author, When a Woman Finds Her Voice


"With the demise of women's ministry, Cyndee's book should be required reading for every leader in our church today. And I don't just mean women leaders. All pastors, please read this book so you know how to serve the women in your church. Our churches are leaving a huge hole because the women have been left behind and have nowhere to turn. This is a much- needed resource for the church today. " Shari Braendel, founder of Fashion Meets Faith and author of Help Me, Jesus, I Have Nothing to Wear! (Zondervan)


"Rethinking Women's Ministry is the consummate, complete companion for any women's ministry leader. Cyndee asks and answers the hard questions about this important ministry of the church. She draws her wisdom from a wealth of experience from leading women's ministry. Her honest and practical guidance along with assessment tools and good solutions makes this book a must-read."Gina Duke, award-winning author, Organizing Your Prayer Closet, former director of women's ministry, First Baptist, Portland, TN
