Meet our Board of Directors

Jo Ann De Graaf, Secretary-“I believe God created us and desires for us to have relationships with other like-minded Christians. Women need relationships to help balance their daily lives and create accountability whether in their marriages or study life. I appreciate and am excited to be a part of the Growing Women Ministries and the goals of our organization!” |

Shirley Gelinas, Treasurer-“When I was a young wife, my parents and siblings lived in Florida and I did not have the female mentoring that I so longed for. I was a young mother, worked full time and struggled with the balance of being a wife, mother, professional woman, friend and serving my God. I believe women need to have friends they can trust, women that can mentor them and come along side them, and women that will help them to grow not only in their Christian walk but as a wife, mother and grandmother! I desire to use the gifts God has given me to bring women together to serve Him in their church, home and in their world.” |

Kathy Gelinas, Vice President-“My heart is for women to know their identity in Christ. I believe that when a woman knows the depth of Christ’s love for them they can be a better friend, wife, mom, and they are ultimately at peace with God. I had so many mentors in my life as a young Christian who were waiting to take me through the steps of finding my identity in Christ. I want to use my gifts and talents to give back and create a legacy of love in my family and my community for God’s glory.” |

Sarah Holmes, President-“The two most important jobs we receive little training for are: being a good mother and being a good citizen. I believe that God intended women to encourage each other in how to love, learn, laugh and live life well. In the Bible God gives older women the mandate to teach the younger women for good reason: Women were created for relationships. It is important to God that we have godly girlfriends because it is essential to our wellness in Christ that we are in accountable and encouraging relationships with other women. I am passionate to see women organized to reflect the Titus 2 mandate and flourish in their faith!” You can follow my blog at: http://www.the3mblog.com. |
