Women have been a vital part of the ongoing ministry of the Bible and the Church. Susannah Wesley, the mother of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, was very instrumental as John, and his brother Charles Wesley, applied the example and teachings and circumstances of their home life to the Methodist revival. Although she never preached a sermon or published a book or founded a church, she is known as the Mother of Methodism.

The Women’s Ministries of St. Mark's endeavors to create an atmosphere where women can realize spiritual maturity and fellowship, develop their leadership skills, and minister in the church, our community and the world.

Women are encouraged to accept their responsibility as women of God who will offer themselves as living sacrifices, acceptable and pleasing to God; be devoted to one another in love, honoring one another above themselves; serve God and their church with zeal, keeping their spiritual fervor; joyfully hope; be patient in affliction and faithful in prayer; share with God’s people who are in need; and practice hospitality. The verses found in Romans 12:1, 10-13 are the foundations for these aspirations. Women are also encouraged to be committed to teaching the younger women, as outlined in Titus 2:4.
