Our Mission

We support, educate, and celebrate Christian feminists from many traditions.

Our Purpose

• to encourage and advocate the use of women's gifts in all forms of Christian vocation.
• to provide educational opportunities for Christian feminists to grow in their belief and understanding.
• to promote networking and mutual encouragement within the Christian community.

Our Statement of Faith

We believe God is the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of all.

We believe God created all people, female and male, in the divine image for relationship with God and one another.

We further believe our relationship with God was shattered by sin with a consequent disruption of all other relationships.

We believe God in love has made possible a new beginning through the incarnation in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who was and is truly divine and truly human.

We believe the Bible is the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and is a central guide and authority for Christian faith and life.

We believe the church is the community of women and men who have been divinely called to do God's will, exercising their gifts responsibly in church, home, and society, and looking forward to God's new creation.

We Are Christian Feminists

• EEWC affirms that the Bible supports the equality of the sexes.
• We believe that our society and churches have irresponsibly encouraged men to domination and women to passivity.
• We proclaim God's redemptive word on mutuality and active discipleship.
• We value inclusive images and language for God.
• We advocate ordination of women and full expression of women's leadership and spiritual gifts.

We Are Inclusive

• EEWC is evangelical because our formation was rooted in the belief that the Gospel is good news for all persons.
• EEWC is ecumenical because we recognize that faith is expressed through a rich diversity of traditions and forms of spirituality.
• We offer a community of safety for all who have experienced abuse, marginalization, or exclusion by Christian churches.
• We have discovered that the expansiveness of God calls us to be an inclusive community.
