I am so glad to play a role in what God is doing in the Church of God in Virginia. Our ministry directive for 2018-2020 continues from 2016, "FINISH COMMITMENT". You, as a pastor's wife, hold tremendous influence in your church and community, and we are grateful your partnership in fulfilling the task before us.

We also encourage you to like us on facebook (VACOGwomen) and check our webpage for the most current and easily accessible information on programs and events. Please feel free to contact me any time if you need assistance, information, or just to chat. I am here for you and look forward to our continued partnership.

SMCH Project Update The Smoky Mountain Children's Home project continues to flourish. Over $17,000 raised by Virginia Women's Ministries has funded improvements for the Old Dominion Cottage housing young women, ages 18-20. The cottage officially opened its doors in September 2017 and currently has four residents. At full capacity, the cottage can house five girls and one house parent. The Old Dominion Cottage is the first on the SMCH campus to house older girls. By supporting this project, you are giving girls, who may otherwise be on the streets, an opportunity to continue their growth and education in a Christian environment. Your giving over the next two years will fund repairs and upkeep for the cottage. All donations should be submitted to the State Office to be documented. Our cottage sees a lot of transition due to the age of the residents. Support and prayer is vital to its success.
