YPBC Women

As women with a passion for serving God, we are a caring community who strive to be faithful, creative and accepting.

For such a time as this we endeavor to:

1. Invite and welcome all women into our community
2. Encourage women to discover their full potential in Christ
3. Motivate, minister, mentor and befriend
4. Live and serve under the influence and empowerment of God’s Spirit.

Who are we?

We support the ministry of the Church by:

• Welcoming you as you come to worship each Sunday
• Encouraging our Church family through cards, calls, and mailings
• Working with Pastoral Care in delivering flowers to shut-ins each week
• Supporting church school children through camp sponsorships and prayer
