The focus of Refine Women's Ministry is to train and grow women through Biblical truth, using mentoring, discipleship, study of God's Word (both independently and with other women), prayer and fellowship using the Titus 2 model described in Scripture.
Refine offers a variety of opportunities for women to learn more about God and His Word and to grow in their relationship with God and each other. We have weekly morning and evening studies, prayer groups, season of life gatherings, as well as special events and refreshers. Please join us this year as we connect through God’s Word and the relationships we build.
Women's Ministry leadership submits to the authority of the elders of San Tan Bible Church. Bible studies, programs, events and potential leadership are presented to the elders for their approval.

Powerful Witness: filled with the Spirit, sent to the world
“…but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth.” Acts 1:8
The book of Acts records a dramatic shift in the history of God's dealings with His people. In its pages we read about the coming of the Holy Spirit, the newfound boldness of Christ's disciples, and the establishment of His church through the gospel message - Salvation is found in Christ alone. Join us this year as we journey into the life of transformation that only the Holy Spirit can provide. Each week includes teaching, table discussion, prayer time and helpful tools to help you grow in your walk with the Lord. Childcare: Infants through kindergarten and a homeschool room for 1st-6th grade children is available.
Teachers: Ann Malm, Kim Peelen & Joanne Weiss

Radiance....made to shine!
"Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed." Psalm 34:5
Radiance in our walk with God isn’t about outward beauty—it’s the unmistakable glow of God's light in us. At Mom’s Connect this year, we’ll explore how His presence shapes our thoughts, words, and everyday moments—helping us shine with purpose as wives, mothers, friends, and coworkers. Come be encouraged, refreshed, and reminded that you were made to shine for His glory.
Mom’s Connect provides biblical, topical and encouraging lessons, an application-based table group discussion as well as a special feature that is creative, fun and useful to the home. We provide childcare for children birth through kindergarten and a homeschool room for 1st-6th grade children. Join us for an encouraging time of biblical teaching, practical instruction and fellowship. You’ll be sure to leave encouraged and challenged each time we meet!
