such a time as this

Such a Time as This is a women's ministry forum, with a difference.

 Our vision is to: 

Celebrate different kinds of beautiful. 

 

Value single women, as married. 

Talk about female sexuality and sexual experience. 

Meet the experiences of women in this time and culture, with honesty and Biblical integrity. 

 

We are not a political or ideological group. Although we will express the theology of our church community, our purpose is not to promote any specific agenda. Our focus is on searching the heart and daily asking Jesus to break our hearts for what breaks His. We recognise that we are each in a process of stepping into closer relationship with Jesus, trusting Him to shape our thoughts, our callings and our relationships. This is a safe space to ask questions, express different views and interpretations, as we consider the scripture together, and as we seek to know His heart for us. 

Who Can Come?

Women. Any. 

All ages. All denominations. Single. Married. Divorced. Widowed. Ordained. Professed. Or not. 

This is an open forum, so women from any churches or community groups around Melbourne are welcome. Bring friends and, of course, we are child (and pet) friendly.

What Does it Cost? 

Nothing

Women's Ministry Portraits-007.jpg

Such a Time as This is a ministry of St Catharine's Anglican Church, Caulfield South

St Catharine's is an evangelical, charismatic, Anglican Church. We encourage women and children to be seen and heard and to teach. Our Senior Pastor is Adam, who oversees the ministries of the Church, in consultation with our elected Church Council. Under his authority, women and men are trained and encouraged to exercise their gifts, including in leadership, preaching and prophecy. We support a complementarian approach to gender roles within marriage and ordained ministries, whilst working collaboratively with brothers and sisters from other church traditions, who have alternative theologies and expressions.
