Women's Guild

Yaba Presbytarian Women's Guild

The Women’s Guild is a fellowship of all women of the church who are twenty-one (21) years old and above. The guilds aim at dedicating their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ and to the service of His kingdom. They promised to seek God’s guidance everyday through prayers and bible reading; attend church regularly and help in the maintenance of women’s work in the church through prayers, service and Christian giving.

Amongst others, the objectives of the Women’s Guild include to build a strong relationship amongst members; to build a woman who will be a great support in the home; to build spiritual structures to enhance the quality of the spiritual life of an average woman; to build an organization that runs on set biblical standards and to build a corporate image which distinguishes the Yaba Parish Woman from others. 

Women's Guild Organisation:

For ease of administration, the Yaba Parish Women’s Guild is divided into twelve houses – Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, Mary Magdalene, Esther, Deborah, Dorcas, Ruth, Priscilla, Eunice, Lydia and Mary Slessor with their respective house leaders.
