Welcome to Women’s Ministry
Welcome to our web page. We are honored that you would take the time to find out what we are all about. Calvary Chapel of Oxnard’s Women’s Ministry is designed to meet the varied needs of women today. We provide many opportunities for women to gather together to hear the Word of God, enter into praise and worship, fellowship and pray with other believers, and serve one another as we grow and conform to the image of Jesus Christ.
If you would like to become involved or just to get to know other ladies, we encourage you to come and participate in any of the Women’s Ministry events. You will love being a part of a group of real women who desire to know God better and have fun learning along the way.
Upcoming Events:
Women’s Breakfast – Saturday, August 16, will be a time of great food and fellowship, but the main dish will be Elaine Berg sharing an exciting testimony from her life. Tickets can be purchased for $6 at the church. We invite you to join us to hear what the Lord may have for you on that day. Contact Barbie Rea for more information through the church office at 485-0111.
Annual Retreat - Our annual Women's Retreat is coming up September 12-14 at Camp Mt. Crag’s in Malibu. The theme this year is GENERATION TO GENERATION, Psalm 145:4, "One generation will praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts." We have been meeting regularly to prepare this special weekend for you. Our speaker this year is Judy Gerry who lives locally in Camarillo and has written several Bible studies titled, "Ancient Paths for Modern Women." She is a wonderful, godly woman who anxiously awaits sharing God’s Word with you! Register now to save your spot with a $40 non-refundable deposit. Contact Liz Nichol with your questions through the church office, 485-0111.
Bible Study – This year we will be studying The Gospel of John. Our study begins Thursday, September 25th with the weekly morning study at 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. and the weekly evening study at 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Please sign up for the study and to pre-register for childcare beginning August 17th.

Ministries We Offer:
Bible Study (Colossians 1:28) – The Women’s Bible Study meets every Thursday at 9:30 am and 6:30 pm with the purpose of deepening our relationship with God and encouraging our spiritual growth through prayer, worship, teaching, and small group fellowship. Our study in Exodus ends May 15, and the summer Bible study with Beth Moore will begin June 5 on Thursday evenings only.
Prayer (Isaiah 61:1-4) – Fruitful Vineyards will be meeting for prayer the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at the church in Room 205 from 7-9 pm. This is a prayer ministry for women committed to living holy lives by seeking God under the leading of the Holy Spirit in a setting which values confidentiality and expresses the love and grace of Christ. We look forward to seeing lives changed as we listen to God and carry out His plan. You are welcome to join us for prayer when you can.
Women Discipling Women – We meet every other month in someone’s home for the purpose of encouraging one another to experience the joy of the practical application of God’s word in our everyday lives, whether that be in cooking, gardening, decorating or other areas. We share our gifts and abilities that are designed by God while having fellowship in a real-life setting. Check the calendar below for the next event.
Women’s Breakfasts (1 Peter 4:10) – This ministry provides women an opportunity to connect with other women at a breakfast on Saturday morning every other month and to encourage us in our relationship with Jesus Christ through hearing the Word of God and witnessing how God is working in others’ lives. We look forward to having you join us at out next breakfast in August.
Side By Side (Zephaniah 3:9) – We desire to fulfill the Great Commission by creating disciples through partnering with sisters in Christ at the Lighthouse Life Recovery Program. Our purpose is to come alongside our fellow sisters one-on-one and encourage them in their growth as new believers through formal and informal discipleship. We are challenged to grow in our walk with Jesus as we extend unconditional love and commit to consistently meeting with our partner. If you are interested in coming alongside one of these precious children of God, please let us know.
Annual Retreat – This year our retreat will be held on September 12-14 at Camp Mt. Crags in Malibu Canyon. The purpose of our retreat is to withdraw from the world and find seclusion in the Lord. It is a time of refreshment which provides opportunities to build new friendships and strengthen established friendships through fellowship, prayer for one another, breaking bread together, worshipping our living God as one body, and learning about Him through teaching from His Word. Please check back for information on how and when to register.
Christmas Fellowship – We enjoy ushering in the Christmas season with a special women’s fellowship where we are reminded that Jesus is the reason for the season. This year the event will be held on Saturday evening, December 6, at 6:30 pm. We hope you will plan to attend.
