Radiance Women's Ministry:
God values and loves women, and so does Dogwood Church! That's why we are committed to meeting women where they are in their spiritual journey and helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus. We encourage women to develop meaningful friendships with one another, to serve God together, and to pass on their love for Christ to those who don't know Him.
We want you to be strong in your faith and worthy of your calling. We desire you to be so intimately in love with Jesus that, whatever life brings, you will walk with the grace and dignity that our faith demands. May you be unwavering in your love for Him and determined to serve Him for the rest of your days.
Bible Studies for Women
The Amazing Collection *
A study of the Bible, book by book, designed especially for women. One book is studied each week through a large-group teaching video and small breakout groups. We will be studying I Timothy – Revelation. You will become acquainted with the character traits of a leader, the various forms of leadership, the descriptions of ministry for various groups of people within the church, and the warnings against false teachers and practices. As we come to the end, Revelation displays Jesus in ultimate victory as God records His last words about the final days and completes the picture of His Son, the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah. A fitting summation to His Amazing Collection!
Date: January 5, 2010 - April 27, 2010
Kinsman - Redeemer Inductive Bible Study *

Deceived by Shame, Desired by God *
Rape, incest, abuse, alcoholism, addiction, divorce, bitterness, gossip, abortion. The list could go on with ways in which sin poisons our lives. Whether the sin is self-imposed or committed by someone else, it can carry a deep-seated sense of shame that convinces us we are irreparably damaged at our core. This toxic emotion can bring about self-destructive behavior, triggering an ongoing cycle. But, God, your Father is shouting out the life-giving truth that there is nothing about you or your past that cannot be redeemed. Join us in this study by Cynthia Humbert and let God replace your shame with His unconditional love for you. Are you ready to trade darkness for light? Class size will be limited to keep this a small group study.

Mom to Mom *
Mom to Mom is a group of women of diverse backgrounds from many different churches and communities all over South Atlanta who have children of all ages. Although we are at various stages of parenting, we share a common desire to grow as women and as mothers.
Our mission is to educate, encourage, and equip women for the most important job in the world—parenting. Through practical, Bible-based teaching and supportive interaction, we wish to foster growth, not only in our parenting skills, but also in our wholeness as women—intellectually, relationally, and spiritually.
By using both large and small group formats, our teachers, offer help with parenting skills, hope in the powerful God who gave us our children, and heart-to-heart encouragement from one mom to another.
