GatHER Women

A ministry for women, by women

What is GatHer?

The GatHer Ministry aims to build up and grow the Women of Village Church in their knowledge of God and the Christian faith through clear Bible Teaching, equipping them for ministry by sharing their faith and fostering of a gospel centred community (Ephesians 4:11-16).

If you have questions about GatHer’s mission, goals or ministries please reach out to Chandra (chandra.smith@vc.org.au).

Current GatHer Ministries

GatHer Events

We currently facilitate three ‘events’ throughout the year and the focus and intentions of these vary; some events are specifically designed to invite non-Christian friends or family members, some are solid bible teaching events, sometimes we are prompted to creatively response to God’s words, and other events encourage women to simply enjoy each others’ company and share life together.

We also encourage Village Women to attend the Grow conference.

GatHer groups

These groups (of four to six women) provide opportunities to build deep friendships with other women who love God. There is no set formula to how, or where a group meets (each group organises what works for them), but sharing prayer needs and supporting each in prayer is a crucial component in fostering these vulnerable, spiritually-supportive relationships.

Women’s bible study

This bible study runs during the day (Wednesdays, 10 am, in Camp Hill), in term time, for women who do not want to go out at night or who have small children. It provides a safe and easy environment to study God’s word and still have community with other women and their children.

1 to 1 Bible Reading

Through this ministry, we aim raise up mature Christian women who have a passion to read God’s Word, apply it to their lives and help others to likewise. Most 1-1 pairs meet weekly, others fortnightly and some monthly. Praying for each other and building a deeper friendship is a natural result of spending time together in God’s word.
