We want to challenge you to live out your faith with us…serve inside AND outside the walls of RockPointe Church. Our mission field is expansive…our homes, our communities, our workplaces, our schools, and every place we stop in between. It’s a big task and God calls us to do it with joy and grace…so now what?? We invite you to be a part of our Women’s Ministry at RPC. We want to encourage you in your faith and through your struggles. We want to equip you to stand firm in your beliefs through our Bible studies and various fellowship groups. We want to walk alongside you as you strive to enrich your relationships with Jesus Christ, your family and friends. And we want to provide opportunities to put feet to your faith as we engage with our community and serve “the least of these.”

All Aboard | All Aboard – Oh the Places We’ll Go!
For women who have suffered the death of a spouse and are seeking new opportunities for growth, service and fellowship.
WELCOME TO HOLLAND
When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip – to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome to Holland.”
“Holland?!?” you say. “What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy.” But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…. and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills….and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy… and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes, that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned.” And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away… because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss.
But… if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things … about Holland.

Flourish | Make One Disciple
Are you looking for lasting and meaningful friendships? Would you like to meet with a woman ahead of you in years and wisdom to share her experiences and insights with you? Are you interested in sharing your time and life experiences with a younger woman or student that could benefit from such an investment?
We joyfully invite you to Flourish! Flourish is a discipleship ministry at RockPointe Church that intentionally develops friendships among women from different generations. Women invest in the lives of each other through encouragement, guidance, listening, laughing and loving. The goal is to form lasting relationships that are a source of spiritual and personal support, growth and strength.
Join us as we learn more about Jesus’ commission to make disciples. We encourage you to put aside any notion that you are not qualified to disciple another and discover the simple tools and methods used for successful discipleship. We are all called to a life of discipleship – Jesus equips the called!
Table 2.4.6.
Table 2.4.6. is a place to gather women and share a simple meal and dive deep with people over real stories and Christ centered conversations. A time for a whole lot of laughter – and maybe a few tears – but time spent that leaves us with glad hearts. Full hearts. Grateful hearts.
We’re inviting you to join in by either serving as a table host or coming to a table gathering as a participant. Tables meet once a month.
New tables are forming now.
The vision is: 2 hours; 4 questions; 6 women (Acts 2:46)
If you are interested in hosting and/or participating in a Table, please email Table246 for details.
