All over the world this good news is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God's grace in all its truth. ~Colossians 1:6
Welcome to communities of learning, friendship and service. Our participants are in all stages of life, single or married, with or without children, some working in marketplace jobs, some at home full time with children and some retired from both types of work! Together, we pray that all women who desire to be connected in community will find a place of belonging and growth in our church. We desire to learn together about God's ways, sharing the stories that form us and experiencing the places where God is moving in our lives as we grow and serve.
Each ongoing Women's ministries group provides an opportunity to journey through a life of faith in Jesus with a group of women who know you. Many wonderful experiences and friendships await in Women's Ministries, as well as other places in the church. Our passion is to help you grow in loving God, loving people and serving the world and this journey is different for each person!
One of the best ways to get connected with other women is to join a Women's small group.

Women's Spiritual Mentoring Ministry
Our ministry seeks to develop mentoring relationships in which both mentor and mentoree grow in transparency, authenticity and vulnerability by inviting the Holy Spirit to reveal His truth, love and wisdom, so that the mentoree can take the next steps in her spiritual growth.
Women's Writing Workshops
Do you love to write? Could you benefit from the healing power of writing? Join other women in a warm and supportive environment. Write in the moment in response to prompts and exercises. If you choose to share your writing, we will only affirm what is strong and memorable.
Women's Retreat
Every year in late January or early February (often on Super Bowl weekend!) we go to beautiful Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove for our annual Women's Retreat, a peaceful and rustic place nestled in the forest and dunes facing the Pacific Ocean. Come, and experience a weekend of worship, teaching and community with other women that will inspire and restore you.
