Victory Outreach United Women in Ministry's standard for leadership is excellence. A women's ministry leader in the local Victory Outreach church is expected to develop specific ministries, nurture women, and equip them for service to God and the church. She serves to provide encouraging ideas and plans which maximize women's contributions to the mission of the Victory Outreach International. She is a woman with a sensitive and caring nature who has a burden for women's ministry. She has an ability to encourage other women to cultivate their spiritual gifts and is able to work well with the women in the church, the pastor, and the Victory Outreach International United Women In Ministry Steering Committee.

The Victory Outreach International United Women In Ministry Steering Committee is composed of pastor's wives who are interested in the broad spectrum of women's needs and services. The team is balanced with the members being persons with varied talents and experience. The major responsibilities of the United Women In Ministry Steering Committee are:

• To assess the needs of women in the local church and community.
• To brainstorm and develop strategies and activities that minister to women.
• To plan and implement these and other initiatives that relate to women's specific and varied needs.
• To facilitate local church participation in annual events, programs and activities, such as the leadership conferences and United We Can mission support, and encourage them in service.

Victory Outreach United Women In Ministry is committed to encouraging, challenging, equipping, and nurturing women as they do their part in carrying the Gospel message to the world.
