MVPC WOMEN
Encouraging, Connecting, and Discipling Women in Christ
MVPC Women is a ministry of Mountain View Presbyterian Church for women in every season of life. Our heart is to encourage women, connect women, and disciple women as we grow together in Christ and in community.
As this ministry continues to grow, we are intentionally building a more multigenerational community — one that welcomes women from our littlest ladies to our oldest saints. Through Bible studies, Circles, fellowship groups, special events, and outreach through MomCo, we want every woman to know there is a place for her here.
BIBLE STUDIES
Thursday Bible Study
In the Bible, the number 41 often symbolizes a new beginning, hope and the overcoming of challenges. It represents the transition from a period of testing (often symbolized by the number 40) to a new phase of promise and fulfillment. 41Women at Mountain View read, study, pray and gather to encourage each other as we often find ourselves in seasons of loneliness, discernment, heartache and confusion but know the secret! There is hope! We believe in and stay focused on what has been promised and what is to come. We focus on Him.
Two options are available:
Morning Group: Thursdays, 9–10:30am
Evening Group: Thursdays, 7–8:30pm
Both groups meet in the EEC (room next to the playground).
This study offers thoughtful Scripture, meaningful discussion, and genuine fellowship—come for the Word, stay for the community. For more information or to get connected, contact Sarah at sarahf@mtviewpres.org
CIRCLES
Ruth Circle
We meet the third Tuesday of the month at 10:00 am in The Gathering Room September through May. In December we have a Christmas lunch in a member’s home. This year we have a two part focus for study: we spend time sharing to get to know each other better and we are studying our favorite hymns. The program leader for each month tells about her favorite hymn.
Sarah Circle
Sarah Circle will meet at 10 a.m. the 3rd Monday of every month (including the rest of summer) at the Chapel at Westminster. We invite anyone that is interested in Fellowship, a short Meditation, Prayer, Coffee and Muffins to join us.
Book Circle
Book Circle discusses one book every month. We meet at 10:00 am on the second Monday of the month, September through June.
MISSION GROUPS
Stitching Sisters
Stitching Sisters meets monthly on the second Wednesday to promote fellowship among women who machine sew or do hand needlework. A devotion is shared before we break for our own sack lunch.Personal projects are regularly in progress. Participation is encouraged in the design and construction of group projects, which are sewn by multiple members. These have included quilts and various home goods which are then offered for sale at the fundraiser in November. Sale money benefits the Women’s Ministries account for distribution to local and faraway missions.
Hands-For-Mission
The Hands-for-Mission group knits and crochets blocks that are assembled into afghans, which are donated to a variety of charitable organizations throughout Arizona. We also provide baby blankets to veteran moms with babies. Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of the month in the EEC room, between 1:00 and 3:00 pm. All supplies are provided by Women’s Ministries. Yarns and blocks are available in our cabinets in the EEC room for those who would like to knit, crochet and assemble afghans/blankets at home.
SEASONAL EVENTS
Throughout the year, MVPC Women hosts special events that create meaningful opportunities for women to gather, celebrate, invite others, and grow in community. These anchor events help shape the rhythm of our ministry year and offer welcoming spaces for women of all ages and stages to connect.
Fall Potluck
Our Fall Potluck is a relaxed and welcoming gathering where women can share a meal, enjoy conversation, and reconnect as a new ministry season begins. It’s a simple but meaningful evening that makes room for both long-time friendships and new connections around the table.
Holiday House Fundraiser
A cherished fall tradition, Holiday House brings women together for a beautiful and festive event that supports ministry while creating space for connection and hospitality. With seasonal charm, shopping, and opportunities to gather, Holiday House is both a meaningful fundraiser and a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season together.
Women’s Event with a Speaker
(Coming 2027) This special spring gathering offers women a chance to be encouraged and refreshed through fellowship and teaching. With a guest speaker and intentional time together, the event is designed to strengthen women in their walk with Christ.
Intergenerational Ladies’ Tea
The Intergenerational Tea is a special spring gathering designed to bring women and girls of all ages together. Whether attending with a daughter, granddaughter, mother, grandmother, or friend, this event celebrates the beauty of faith and friendship across generations in a setting that feels joyful, elegant, and welcoming.
CORE TEAM
Our MVPC Women Core Team is a group of women from different ages and stages of life who gather to help lead and support the ministry. Together, they help create spaces where women can feel welcomed, connected, and encouraged in their faith.
