1. WNAC Membership Study Committee Suggestions / Ideas

2. TIME Save time by having a sheet available for women to write down a prayer request when they arrive. Divide women into small groups to share prayer needs and pray together (15 min). Keep refreshments simple.

3. Increase District membership by compiling a booklet of testimonials from present WAC group members. Mail booklet along with WNAC Ministry Guide to every church in your district along with a letter inviting them to be a part of this ministry.

4. Think Outside the Box

5. Customize your group to meet the needs of your women. No two churches are the same. Evaluate what works best for you and go for it!

6. Produce a short DVD promoting your WAC group. Include information on how to make a positive influence for Christ within the home, church, community and world.

7. Keep your pastor involved and informed in all your efforts. The support of pastors is vital to a healthy ministry. Pray for him and give him your support as a group.

8. We exist to complement, not compete with other church ministries.

9. YWAC Encourage youth participation. Form a YWAC (Young Women Active for Christ) group. Customize it to fit the needs of your young ladies. There are no age restrictions.

10. Child Care A good project for the YWAC groups or teens. Offer to pay one of your young ladies to provide this service. When divided among several moms, the investment is minimal. Most moms are willing to pay to enjoy a little “free time.”

11. Family Night Provide activities for children and allow both Master’s Men and WAC groups to meet the same night. Provide a fellowship supper to follow meetings. This can be done on one Wednesday night of each month, or any night of your choice.

12. Everyone Included Invite all women of the church to participate in special projects. Eliminate the idea that your WAC group is an exclusive club. Emphasize it takes everyone working “Together with God.”

13. Offer a variety of avenues for service. Rotate your focus between the home, church, community, and world.

14. What about membership fees? Again, think outside the box when it comes to paying your group’s membership fees. Designate one fund raiser each year to cover the membership fees for all your members. Offer a sponsorship program. Ladies are given the opportunity to sponsor a member and pay her fees. (This is a good secret sis gift) When planning the year’s budget, include membership fees in your annual budget. Designate a percentage of each month’s offering to cover membership fees.
