The Women's Commission

“Commissioned To Make A Difference”

Our Vision

To be a unified global voice seeing girls and women fully flourishing as they embrace their identity in Christ Jesus.

Our Mission

We engage, equip and empower girls and women to fully realize their gifts and talents, enabling them to lead Christ-centered lives and serve as evangelical witnesses.

We advocate for the rights and holistic health of women addressing the challenges girls and women face around the globe.

  • We engage by intentionally connecting with girls and women around the globe through our nine regional alliances and growing national alliances.
  • We equip by producing contextual resources and collaborating with evangelical scholars and local practitioners, to ensure contextual capacity building through knowledge and skill development.
  • We empower by teaching the truths of Scripture about our identity in Christ to strengthen girls and women on life’s transformational journey, providing mentoring, coaching, and other transformational developmental opportunities.

The goal of the WEA Women’s Commission is to equip Christian women in every sphere of life – church, community, family, business – to contribute effectively to God’s Kingdom purposes and plans.

It aims to engage Christian women and girls within the WEA, a body of around 600 million Christians – to be a gathering place for them to discuss issues of interest to women in the Body of Jesus Christ.

Working in nine regions of the world, the Commission encourages and connects women leaders of all ages to develop their gift and talent, to act strategically and be a voice on issues impacting women and girls.

Conferences, training materials, a speaker’s bureau, research, podcasts, growth groups and media representation comprise the expanding strategic activities of the Women’s Commission.

Conferences, training materials, a speaker’s bureau, research, podcasts, growth groups and media representation comprise the expanding strategic activities of the Woman’s’ Commission. To date, the Women’s Commission has made significant inroads in the empowering of women at church. Some achievements include:
  • Developing The Call to All Christians, a prophetic statement setting out what evangelical women across the world want to declare about the experiences of women and girls.
  • Developing Rise in Strength (riseinstrength.net) as a founding partner. Rise in Strength is a platform for women in international leadership.
  • Developing resources around sound Biblical literacy on gender and equality, issues affecting women and girls such as family, violence, trafficking, persecution, and health.
The impact of a healthy Woman’s’ Commission is measured in the growing number of women engaged in the Commission and in the increasing acceptance of women in church leadership.

The WEA’s Esther Project

The three Key Pillars of this project are
1. The WEA Women’s Commission
2. The Church Alliances
3. Public Media Campaign

The vision is to spark a movement of women and girls dedicating themselves to be like the biblical “Esther” – applying their God-given leadership gifts in church and mission.

For years, the issue of women in church leadership – formal and informal – has been a touchy subject both theologically and institutionally.

The Esther Project is the WEA initiative that is actively working to advocate for full co-leading of women in church and parachurch ministry.
