Mission
by design ministries is dedicated to the equipping and development of women for ministry that will advance the kingdom of God, with a special emphasis on the needs related to New England.
Our mission is to equip and encourage women to influence and serve others for Christ. We accomplish this through events, educational tools and classes, ministry resources, and developing relationships that encourage and equip women to grow in Christ and increase their competency to minister to others.

We are committed to the discovery, development, and deployment of women and their God-given design for kingdom service.

What Is the Significance of the Name?
Because of their strategic involvement in the home, workplace, and community, women are uniquely designed to be able to contribute significantly to reaching our world for Christ. God has created us for a purpose. Through our various roles, giftedness, and callings, we can make an eternal difference in the lives of those around us. This ministry is committed to assisting women in the discovery, development, and deployment of their God-given design for their lives.
