This ministry at CLC encompasses MOPS, Women's Bible Studies, Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML), Infertility/Miscarriage Ministry, Women's Book Club, and special events.

Explore current opportunities
- Women's Bible Studies
Join your sisters in Christ in a Bible study! You'll grow, not only in your faith and knowledge of the Bible, but also in community with a great group of women. These studies meet weekly, unless otherwise indicated. Use the link below to see the full list of studies and how to register.
If you have any questions, please contact Kate Giger, Discipleship & Women’s Ministry Coordinator (click here to email).
- MomCo. (formerly MOPS - Mothers of Preschoolers)
Remarkable things happen when moms come together face to face! At Cornerstone Lutheran we have been privileged to see this happen over and over for more than 20 years through our MOPS programs.
And now, MOPS is The Mom Community — MomCo for short.
MomCo is a non-profit organization that encourages and equips moms of young children to realize their potential as mothers, women and leaders, in relationship with Jesus and in partnership with the local church. So, whether you are a soon-to-be mom, first-time mom or seventh-time mom, you are welcome here. Whether you are an adoptive mom, young mom, seasoned mom, foster mom, stepmom or any other type of mom, you are welcome here!
Visit our MomCo page for more information!
- Infertility/Miscarriage Support
The goal of "The Cry of My Heart" is to create a community of support around the difficulties some encounter when trying to start a family, and to recognize God's love and mercy through these trials. Whether you've been affected by infertility, miscarriage, stillborn, infant loss or adoption loss, our hearts are open you you.
We meet for Bible study and hold a service of remembrance on the Sunday closest to October 15, National Infant Loss & Miscarriage Remembrance Day.

- Lutheran Women In Mission (LWML)
This auxiliary organization in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod strives to develop the spiritual gifts of women through fellowship, Christian growth, and mission service.
We sponsor many mission-minded projects and events, including collections (socks, baby items, food), quilt making, a cookie walk, care packages for college students, and more.
And, the first weekend of every month at the Carmel site the LWML places large Mite Boxes by the Sanctuary and Worship Center at our Carmel site to collect your spare change for mission work. Your change can make a real change!
Join with us as we make a difference in the world through the love of Jesus Christ!
