"the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed."

Titus 2:3-5

Embrace is a disciple-making ministry model of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, rooted in Matthew 28:19-20 and Titus 2:3-5. It focuses on engaging women in Gospel conversations, helping them profess Christ, grow in their faith, and continue the disciple-making process in their everyday lives.

Vision

To pray for and minister to women, their families, and future generations, building up Christ's Kingdom.

Mission

To help women live in intimacy with Christ, serving through the local church, and developing evangelism, discipleship, and missions for future generations.

Based on Titus 2:3-5, Embrace emphasizes older women mentoring younger women, focusing on behavior, attitudes, speech, and thought. It encourages growth in Christ, family life, and godly actions.

Goals

Evangelism: Engaging women with the Gospel (Proverbs 31:20, Matthew 28:19).

Discipleship: Educating women to study and apply God's Word (Psalm 19:7, Titus 2:3-4).

Missions: Equipping women for Kingdom work locally and globally (Acts 1:8, Psalm 2:8).

Embrace encourages integrating evangelism, discipleship, and missions into a woman's lifestyle, with prayer as the foundation. It helps churches and associations develop women's ministries that equip women to be disciple-makers who multiply disciples.
