Women’s Ministries

At New Life we believe God has a plan and purpose for every woman and that it’s His heart’s desire for them to walk in all He has for them. We have dedicated men and women who work together to accomplish this goal. Heather Clemans is our Women’s Ministries Director.

At our church both genders are equally valued. Our women are encouraged to be all they can be and we do our best to create a safe place for them to step out and find their rightful place. Women are appreciated for their contributions as co-laborers with their brothers in Christ.

We have amazing women from various backgrounds and in different seasons, all with a unique story to tell. We?re here to build relationships and to share life’s triumphs and challenges, as we grow in the Lord. And, whenever it’s possible and appropriate, we have a blast doing it!

There are opportunities throughout the week, specifically for women, to get plugged in and truly thrive:

Wednesday Mornings – Tea at Ten

Study and prayer group – Locations vary weekly

Thursday Evenings Study and prayer group 7-8:30 at Heather Clemans’ Women are welcome to come as early as 5:00 to eat dinner together

Heather and Crystal Elliott co-facilitate the ARMS meetings hosted by New Life. Heather has been with this ministry for over seven years. Last year Crystal completed the rigorous training process and now leads as well.

We also hold an annual Women’s Retreat which this year will be October 22-24 in Turner, Oregon, near Salem. Our keynote speaker is Patty Huenke, an awesome woman of God who has ministered at our church on numerous occasions and always has a powerful, timely word to share.

Heather and her husband, Glen, share the blessings and challenges of their growing, blended family. Although they are technically empty-nesters, they love to spend time with their four sons, daughter, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. Glen was recently named in Barron’s as one of the top financial advisors in the nation. He is the senior partner and owner of his own company. He also competes in triathlons and is currently training for the Canadian Ironman in August.

Heather enjoys her volunteer work at her awesome church. Along with women’s ministries and ARMS, she serves on the worship team and is an elder along with her husband. Her hobbies include guitar, books, and riding a tandem bicycle with Glen. It’s the one sport where she can keep up with him. They have an eight-year-old female German Shepherd named Chaucie.
