Keepers of the Home is a ministry that exists to teach,
encourage, and
minister to women while helping them find joy and
contentment in their role as "Keepers of the Home." Keepers
of the Home is
an exciting way for women of all ages and stages of life
to rediscover joy, contentment, and value in being the keepers
of their homes. This ministry seeks to encourage women to find
creative ways to improve the management of their homes, see the
value of their role in light of God's Word, and to walk in
contentment and satisfaction while carrying out their calling as
found in Titus 2:3-5 and Proverbs 31:10-31.
Keepers of the
Home is more than just a Bible Study. There are wonderful events
and small groups offered throughout the year to teach and encourage.

list of existing Keepers of the Home Ministries, and other wonderful resources to
assist you in Keepers of the Home "skills"
Bible Study
The Keepers of the Home Bible Study is founded upon the principles
of being a Godly woman as found in Proverbs 31 and Titus 2.
The study is a small group, about 20 women, who come together to
study these passages, read A Woman After God's Own Heart by
Elizabeth George, and participate in discussion and scripture
memory. The Bible Study also includes homework written
specifically for going deeper into these subjects.
The study also includes "skill sessions" on growing your
relationship with the Lord, home organization, cooking, "As For
Me and My House", and hospitality. Skill
Sessions are a wonderful opportunity to see women present the
practical ways in which they apply these skills in their daily
lives.
An 11 week study, Keepers of the
Home has proven to be a life-changing time of growth, learning, and
relationship-building.
The natural outcome of this ministry is women
mentoring other women as instructed in Titus 2:3-5
Little Keepers
Little Keepers
provides an opportunity for girls in 3rd-5th grades to come with their
mothers and begin building a foundation for the principles and
skills that the Keepers of the Home ministry is built upon. Little Keepers events are held
4-6 times a year, and include a speaker on a "Keepers
of the Home" topic and a
fun activity for the girls and their mothers to do together!
Some past Little Keepers events:
~ Memory Board making & Organization
~ Cooking Basics- fun recipes, measuring, etc.
~ "Watermelon Party"- sharing the story of salvation with
your
friends
~ Healthy Living & Taking Good Care of Yourself
What a special time of growing in
the Lord and growing together for these mothers and daughters!
