Retreats

Overnight Retreats

Give yourself the gift of time away with Jesus

NEWIM’s retreats lift your focus to Jesus, are grounded in Scripture, and provide time to draw near to God.

Relationships

Isolation and loneliness are real. We all need safe, trusted relationships with peers. NEW! Sign up for life coaching (at a rate you can afford) or come to a small group via Zoom. You don’t have to walk alone.

Isolation and Loneliness are Real

When we work on a church staff, friendships with leaders outside of our church community are a lifeline.

The Quest—A Unique Retreat for Men

Similar to the Springs Retreat NEWIM hosts for Women

The Quest is unlike most Men’s Retreats—it’s not about activity but a journey on the ancient paths of reflection, worship, and times of silence and solitude to draw near to the Lord in ways most meaningful to men. Offered by Traveling Together Ministries in Three Rivers, CA.

Wondering if NEWIM Is for You?

NEWIM, the Network of Evangelical Women in Ministry, is a network of diverse Christian women from a variety of denominations. We share in common that our lives have been transformed by the love and grace of Jesus and we want to support one another. Hear our Founders’ stories.

Newim is “Evangelical”?

NEWIM is evangelical. Unfortunately, “evangelical” is currently being used to describe a variety of political, social and cultural views which may have very little in common with the theological or religious meaning of the term.

“Evangelical” is in our name because we take the Bible seriously and trust in Jesus, his death and resurrection for salvation. We are women who have experienced God’s love and grace personally and who deeply desire that all would hear the good news and come to know his love. This is what it means to be evangelical. We are an organization serving the spiritual needs of women who love and serve Jesus in ministry. Historians say evangelicalism as a movement began in the 1730s and modern American evangelicalism emerged in the 1940-50s. Click here to learn more about the history of evangelicals and the role of women in the movement.

What Does “in Ministry” Mean?

NEWIM believes that God calls all of us into service. So regardless of our title or compensation, if we are serving Jesus, we are “in ministry.”

We also believe that women who are married to pastors, and women who serve on staff at a church, and women who are CEOs of nonprofit organizations have a special need to connect with peers and form safe friendships outside of their church and local communities. NEWIM provides opportunities to meet other women who share your role and understand the unique challenges women in your leadership position face.

Are you serving Jesus? Then NEWIM is for you—you are in ministry.

Are you serving as a pastor, pastor’s wife, or on staff at a church? Then NEWIM is for you.

NEWIM is for all women who love and serve Jesus
