Women’s Ministries

Susan Yarc-Burkett, Women’s Ministry Leader

The purpose of the Women’s Ministry is to Love Women to Christ. We do this by creating opportunities and resources for women to discover their gifts and be empowered to fulfill His purpose. Our desire is to minister and encourage each other as well as disciple new believers. For more information, please send an email to wm@riverridgewi.com.

You may also fill out this short form if you are interested in learning more, volunteering, or would simply like to leave us a message.
