Nebraska Women’s Ministries
Since 1874, Disciples Women’s Ministries (DWM) has worked to grow awareness of the need for women’s missions and ministry worldwide. We accomplish this through focusing on justice, spiritual formation, and leadership development. These pillars are how DWM works to help women develop a sense of personal responsibility for the mission of the Church in the world. Based on Micah 6:8, DWM is a conduit for diverse connections, empowering each woman to find her voice and live out her call. As part of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), DWM welcomes all to the table as Christ has welcomed us. Ultimately, we are a network of women committed to the justice-seeking, compassion-focused mission of Jesus Christ with no membership requirements or conditions.
Spring Women’s Retreat April 20, 2024
Featuring Keynote Speaker Rev. Abby Conley. Additional details coming in March.
President Linda Waldron attended the Disciple’s Women Leadership Council in January held in Indianapolis. The meeting included representatives from every region in the United States and Canada.
Summary of Topics discussed:
- Women-to-Women and Women Action Web (WAW) trips will be on a rotating basis. This year, 2024, is a WAW trip to Arizona.
- Leadership Council will be held in-person every other year, to manage cost. The travel dues we pay for the leadership council are 5 cent per participating woman per region.
- Everyone was given the book “In The Fullness of Time” the history of DWM. For those who have pre-ordered, you should be receiving “Just Women” magazine by the end of February.
- Service project focus is the same as 2023, supporting Sexual Assault/Spouse Abuse victim centers. Each group is encouraged to work with a local organization.
- A PowerPoint of the session will be emailed to be used regionally.

Hello Disciple Women,
My name is Angela ”Angie” Emons and I’m the new Disciples Women’s Ministries Co-coordinator for the Nebraska Region.
A little about me…. I grew up in the DoC Church and was baptized at First Christian Church in Nebraska City. I attended Bethany Christian Church while I lived in Lincoln, attended Kamp Kaleo as a kid, and have been to retreats in Hastings, Aurora, and across the state. Previously I served on the Regional Cabinet in several capacities, and spent 2018-2022 as the Nebraska Disciples Women’s President.
I am back in my home church of Nebraska City, currently serving as an Elder, Financial Secretary, Hospitality Chair, and work for the church as the Administrative Assistant.
I currently serve as the Regional Board Secretary.
I am very interested in working with the Church Narrative Project.
And I am most of all excited to be serving, building relationships, and working with you!
– Angie Emons.
