Women’s Ministry Resources
CDM strengthens your church by connecting you to the resources you need for Women’s Ministry.
Whether you are creating a Women’s Ministry from scratch or looking for help reenergizing an existing ministry, CDM can help! This includes resources we have gathered from PCA churches across the country and resources our Women’s Ministry Team have developed to strengthen your church. Begin with the Foundational Resources (Click on the link below to see the resource) and then check out what is in each of the files of resources.
If you have a resource you would be willing to share or a resource you would like us to develop, we want to hear from you. Email us.
Resources for your Bible studies
A few times a year, CDM publishes studies and books we believe will serve the church. We are selective in the books we offer because our objective is providing churches with resources they can trust, resources that are Biblically based and relationally focused, resources that will equip and encourage individuals to grow in their faith.
We have an extensive library of resources for Women’s Ministry. We have always been committed to developing resources that are foundational to a biblical philosophy of women’s ministry. These materials are designed to teach women to think biblically about all of life, including issues specifically related to being a woman.

Leadership Training . . . Women’s Ministry Helpful Resources
In an effort to serve you well, we offer these resources from a variety of PCA churches. Be encouraged that the beautiful diversity of the PCA should be reflected in the different structures of our presbyteries. Our intention is not to prescribe any specific model, but to help you develop a structure that best serves the context of your presbytery/church. Keep in mind that although structures are a means of needed organization, we do not live to serve the structure.

Women’s Ministry Training at Your Church by a Trainer
Women’s Ministry Training — Cathe Cleveland from PCA CDM on Vimeo.
The Women’s Ministries Trainers are women just like you. They serve in their PCA church’s women’s ministries. Their delight is to connect your church’s women’s ministry and presbytery to resources that will help the women you serve think biblically about all of life and then live out those truths in the context of community with the aim of strengthening the church.
Our Women’s Ministry Training Brochure gives information about hosting a women’s ministry training at your presbytery or church.
If you would like to have a trainer come to your church, please contact Karen Hodge at khodge@pcanet.org.
For information about our individual trainers, go to our Leadership page.
