Bishop Tommy McGhee and Discipleship Ministries are pleased to announce Meredith Light as the new Coordinator of IPHC Girls\u2019 Ministries.<\/p>\n

Following the remarkable 18-year ministry of Irvina Parker as Director, Girls\u2019 Ministries is moving into a new season.<\/p>\n

Kristi Cain, National Director of IPHC Kids\u2019 Ministries, had this to say: \u201cWe are thrilled to have Meredith serve as our new Girls' Ministries leader. She brings creativity, energy, experience, and calling to this role. As the national coordinator, Meredith will continue to lead our mPact, Friends, and Girls Only Clubs. Supporting the women and girls of this community will remain one of her primary responsibilities. Additionally, Meredith is passionate about seeing all churches<\/em> do gender-specific ministry. Thus, she will be working to resource, inspire, and equip congregations who want a girls' program, but have found that our traditional club approach isn't right for them. We can't wait to see what is ahead for this ministry!<\/p>\n

Bishop Tommy McGhee noted, \u201cMeredith brings so much passion and creativity to her work and connects extremely well with girls of all ages. She will provide support and training for Girls\u2019 Ministries as well as bringing new and exciting resources for use in the local church.<\/p>\n

Meredith is no stranger to Discipleship Ministries. She has served in the office since 2016.\u00a0Meredith also loves serving in her local church where she has been the Children's Pastor, the Creative Pastor, and currently serves on the worship team.<\/p>\n

Meredith was born and raised in Southwest Kansas, and she is a 2017 graduate of Southwestern Christian University. She loves spending time with her family, making others laugh, and collecting random miniature things.<\/p>\n

Meredith was called to ministry at Power Chicks in 2015 while serving as part of the Worship Band. She has a deep love for Girls\u2019 Ministries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to have the opportunity to serve alongside women who are dedicated to girls\u2019 discipleship. I believe that gender-specific girls' ministry is vital in our culture, as there are millions of girls who are listening to and accepting what social media and the world say about them. It is our responsibility to combat those lies with God\u2019s strength and truth. This comes through providing a safe place for girls to talk about their fears and hurts, while also celebrating their joys and victories. Strong, genuine relationships with Christlike women are the foundation of raising godly girls. I look forward to working with you as we continue building community through intentional, committed discipleship to girls.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Meredith Light<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s del notable ministerio de 18 a\u00f1os de Irvina Parker como Directora del Ministerio de las Ni\u00f1as, el Ministerio de las Ni\u00f1as est\u00e1 entrando en una nueva temporada. Kristi Cain, Directora Nacional de IPHC Kids 'Ministries, dijo lo siguiente: \u201cEstamos encantados de que Meredith sirva como nuestra nueva l\u00edder de Ministerios de Ni\u00f1as. Ella aporta creatividad, energ\u00eda, experiencia y vocaci\u00f3n a este papel. Como coordinadora nacional, Meredith continuar\u00e1 liderando nuestros clubes mPact, Friends y Girls Only. Apoyar a las mujeres y ni\u00f1as de esta comunidad seguir\u00e1 siendo una de sus principales responsabilidades. Adem\u00e1s, a Meredith le apasiona ver a todas las iglesias<\/em> hacer un ministerio espec\u00edfico de g\u00e9nero. Por lo tanto, trabajar\u00e1 para encontrar recursos, inspirar y equipar congregaciones que quieran un programa para ni\u00f1as, pero descubrieron que nuestro enfoque tradicional de club no es el adecuado para ellas. \u00a1No podemos esperar a ver qu\u00e9 le espera a este ministerio! El obispo Tommy McGhee se\u00f1ala: \u201cMeredith aporta tanta pasi\u00f3n y creatividad a su trabajo y se conecta extremadamente bien con ni\u00f1as de todas las edades. Brindar\u00e1 apoyo y capacitaci\u00f3n para los Ministerios de las Ni\u00f1as, adem\u00e1s de traer recursos nuevos y emocionantes para usar en la iglesia local. Meredith no es ajena a los Ministerios de Discipulado. Ella ha servido en la oficina desde 2016. Naci\u00f3 y creci\u00f3 en el suroeste de Kansas, y se gradu\u00f3 en 2017 de la Southwestern Christian University. A Meredith tambi\u00e9n le encanta servir en su iglesia local. Ella fue Pastora de Ni\u00f1os por un a\u00f1o, Pastora Creativa por un a\u00f1o, y actualmente sirve en el equipo de adoraci\u00f3n. A Meredith le encanta pasar tiempo con su familia, hacer re\u00edr a los dem\u00e1s y coleccionar cosas en miniatura al azar. Meredith fue llamada al ministerio en Power Chicks en 2015, mientras serv\u00eda como parte de Worship Band. Ella tiene un profundo amor por los Ministerios de las Ni\u00f1as. \u201cMe honra tener la oportunidad de servir junto a mujeres dedicadas al discipulado de las ni\u00f1as. Creo que el ministerio de ni\u00f1as espec\u00edfico de g\u00e9nero es vital en nuestra cultura, ya que hay millones de ni\u00f1as que escuchan y aceptan lo que las redes sociales y el mundo dicen sobre ellas. Es nuestra responsabilidad combatir esas mentiras con la fuerza y la verdad de Dios. Esto se logra al proporcionar un lugar seguro para que las ni\u00f1as hablen sobre sus miedos y heridas, al tiempo que celebran sus alegr\u00edas y victorias. Las relaciones fuertes y genuinas con las mujeres cristianas son la base de la crianza de las ni\u00f1as piadosas. Espero trabajar con ustedes mientras continuamos construyendo comunidad a trav\u00e9s del discipulado intencional y comprometido con las ni\u00f1as \u201d.<\/em> - Meredith Light \u00a0<\/strong>","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/05\/Meredith-Girls-Ministries-Welcome-Graphic-1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4T9u2-1IY","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
