Intentional Cultivation: Six Topics to Consider When Starting a Girls' Ministry, Lulu
Press, 2022.
Intentional Cultivation is designed to help reduce some of the burden of starting or
revamping a girls' ministry. It focuses on getting leaders to ask the right questions
and to frame their ministry in a way that will be beneficial to both the church and
the students involved. The author's prayer is that this book will help church leaders
create meaningful ministry programs for girls that center on Christ and cultivate
both a knowledge of and love for God. This brief curriculum highlights six key
components of girls' ministry: theology, necessity, purpose, vision, structure, and
resources.
Ashley states: Intentional Cultivation started out as the capstone project for my
Cedarville M.Min. degree! As I was writing, I kept thinking, "this could be so helpful
for others who are trying to start a girls' ministry." My time at Cedarville, as both
an undergraduate and graduate student, taught me a lot about practically doing
ministry and I wanted to make some of that knowledge available to others -- in a
pretty condensed way. Intentional Cultivation can be purchased here.
