The Coronavirus pandemic changed a lot about the way we live our lives. The things we used to take for granted were suddenly ripped away from us. In the time we were trapped at home wondering what life was going to look like on the other side, we had plenty of time to assess what was going right with our lives, and what needed to change.
Perhaps you found that you were missing out on a feeling of community during quarantine. Or maybe you felt powerless and were looking for something you could do to help. Maybe you just wanted a way to bring meaning to your life.
Now that the world is reopening, you are free to make changes to help improve your life. In this article, we’re going to take a look at reasons to join a women’s church groups near you that will suit your needs.
The First benefit on our list is Safety
Many women feel more comfortable in a group of other women. Whether they need a safe space to vent and share their feelings, advice on how to handle a tricky situation at work, or guidance on how to raise their children, only women can offer other women the information they need.
Did you know that mother warthogs not only raise their daughters, but they also stick around to help them give birth? It’s only natural for females to stick together through thick and thin.
The second benefit to joining a women’s church group is strength. They say there’s strength in numbers, and whoever they are, they’re right! Women’s associations have been responsible for some of the most important movements in American history. The suffrage movement was spearheaded by women. Women were active in the civil rights movement, as well.

The next benefit on our list is Fun!
Everyone knows that being in a group of women is a time to relax, let your hair down, and be your true self. Be silly, creative, musical, and fun-loving all within a group of like-minded peers. You might learn to crochet, teach someone how to grow a sourdough starter from scratch, or take up stamping. The world is your oyster!
Girls Just Want to Have Fun is a song that’s been covered dozens of times. It’s reached the top of the charts in twelve different countries around the world. It’s been featured in dozens of movies. There’s a reason for that: we all know that a group of girls getting together for a common purpose can’t help but have fun.
This leads right into our next benefit, which is Community
Not only will joining a women’s group give you a sense of community, but it will also allow an avenue to bring your talents out into the world. For example, some groups meet informally in order to knit, crochet, quilt, or make other crafts. They then donate their efforts to worthy charities like project Linus that help distribute blankets to children in need.
If you happen to be great with kids, you could help spread God’s message to the next generation. Many churches have programs aimed towards several age groups, from infants to children to teens all the way to senior citizens. Your passion and dedication can find an outlet through the church.
Finally, we come to our final benefit: Confidence
Do you ever feel hesitancy before you make a major life decision? Wish you had more information to help you make the right choice? Having the collected wisdom of your peers at your fingertips can help you make decisions that are right for you. You also know that if something backfires you have a group you can fall back on for advice and support.
Females have to build each other up. There are so many aspects of our everyday lives designed to tear us down. Whether it’s a man instructing us to smile on the street, being passed over for a promotion for a less qualified man, or being catcalled, many of our daily interactions break down our self-esteem and make us feel like we are not worthy.
A dedicated group provides the antidote for these experiences. It offers a chance to affirm each other’s value. Never forget that you are one of God’s children, and you deserve to feel loved and secure.
No matter what thoughts and feelings you’re dealing with in the aftermath of the global pandemic, know that there are people that can help you process your trauma and move forward. Look online or ask a friend about a group that is right for you.
