Mission Statement
The Elect Ladies mission is to develop the women of The Church Of The Living God International, Inc., into Elect Ladies with high standards and to financially support the CLGI Headquarters with revenues raised at their Annual Conference. Within this department there is something for women of all ages, ranging from our young handmaidens to our seasoned saints. The Elect Ladies Department offers an in-depth study of holy women in the Bible, instruction regarding our predecessors who served as spiritual pillars, and the unparalleled example set by our International Director. By joining this department, you will be encouraged to live a lifestyle of holiness and become the woman that God has intended for you to be!
We BelieveWe believe that God's Elect Ladies must be one of excellence and professionalism, enabled to help others (Proverbs 10:10-31). She must be equipped to encourage others, realize she is equal and not feel inferior to her fellow sisters in Christ. She is one who is esteemed highly because she is an example to other women in society.
According to the scripture, that Adam was created first, but he was lonely and without Eve and could not produce after his kind (Gen. 2:18-25). Therefore, God created the woman to be a help meet for the man and placed her by his side. We believe that God created Eve to enhance and complement Adam because God had created an Elect Lady for him.
The Apostle John (2 John 1:1) used the term "elect lady" to signify a prominent and special Christian lady known throughout her community by a spirit of excellence. "The Elder, to the chosen lady and her children whom I love in the truth-and not only I, but also all who know the truth." She displayed the love of Christ to her family and throughout the Churches in Ephesus. Among the biblical scribes and history's heroes, her life sets a precedent, for she was uncommon, invaluable and a priceless jewel.
The Elect Lady had high standards and was a pillar among women. Her standards were so high that the Apostle John mentions them in the first words of his letter as he identified her integrity, purity, and professionalism, which were impossible to overlook. The Elect Ladies of The Church of the Living God desire to believe and reflect the same standards as the Elect Lady of the Apostle John's day. We believe that it is God's desire for every women to be all that He created her to be at any age, whether young or old. The time has come for the church to assist women of today in maintaining these high standards.
It is our mission to financially support the Headquarters of The Church of The Living God International, Inc. and establish, educate, train, and develop our women to become God's Elect Ladies.
