Church is not a place, it's a community on a journey
We engage, encourage, equip and empower women to become who God created us each to be.
We are a movement of women, all women, in our community and around the world. We are a sisterhood with the uniting bond being our womanhood.
We are not about joining a program, promoting an agenda, or pushing others down. We are about joining hearts and hands in lifting one another up to reach our God-given potential. We believe we can positively influence and improve the lives of women, and those they impact, through this journey.
We are a part of something bigger than ourselves. We can have life-changing and life-giving impact.
We can…and we will.
May we be women who acknowledge our power to change,
and grow, and be radically alive for God.
May we be healers of wounds and righters of wrongs.
May we weep with those who weep
and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
May we cherish children, embrace the elderly
and empower the poor.
May we pray deeply and teach wisely.
May we be strong and gentle leaders.
May we sing songs of joy and talk down fear.
May we never hesitate to let passion push us,
conviction compel us, and righteous anger energize us.
May we strike fear into all that is unjust and evil in the world.
May we dismantle abusive systems and silence lies with truth.
May we shine like stars in a darkened generation.
May we overflow with goodness in the name of God
and by the power of Jesus. And in that name, and by that power,
