WHAT IS THE VILLAGE?

The Village creates spaces where women belong, connect, and flourish through mentorship & community.

Imagine what would happen if we truly made ourselves available to one another—if we slowed down long enough to listen, to enter one another’s stories, and to carry one another’s burdens and joys. What if we committed not only to walking beside each other, but also to celebrating one another’s glory? We would not remain the same. Our character would be shaped, our courage strengthened, and our sense of calling would no longer feel like the exception but the beautiful norm. This is the type of community and connection we were made for—a Village where women of every age and stage come together to belong, to connect, and to flourish through mentorship and authentic relationship.

That sounds great!” you say, “but I don’t know how to connect with others like that.” Well, that is exactly what The Village is for. We know that deep, life-giving relationships don’t just happen by accident—they grow when there is both intention and support. Without sufficient connection with other human beings, we slowly become a little less human, a little less alive, every day. We were created for emotional connection, and without it, we cannot truly flourish or thrive. That’s why The Village provides not only the structure and framework to connect you with other women, but also the skills and tools to help you build the kind of meaningful relationships you were made for. Because the truth is we can only live out the fullness of our identity in community. And when we step into this kind of connection, we discover not only belonging, but also the joy of helping others flourish alongside us. 

Whether through love, friendship, or meaningful conversation, we flourish when we experience genuine, life‑giving connection.

Who is The Village For?

The Village is for every woman—whether you’re a junior high student, a young professional, a mom in the thick of it, or a grandmother with decades of wisdom to share. Every season of life has something to give and something to receive. The Village is especially for those longing for deeper relationships, discipleship, or looking to connect with a mentor or mentee as you walk through life. To be human is to need others—from our earliest days to every stage we grow through.

OFFERINGS

One-on-One Mentorship

We pair women who desire to mentor with women seeking mentorship. Each pair commits to meeting for one hour twice a month.

Group Gatherings

A couple times a year, the entire Village comes together for dinners, keynote speakers, workshops, and activities designed to inspire, equip, and connect.

Be encouraged by shared stories and resources that remind you you’re not alone—and that your voice, gifts, and journey matter.

JOIN GATHERINGS

Connecting is key to healing — connecting to the core stories of our lives, connecting in relationship to others, connecting to ourselves, and connecting to God.

We were created to live in connection with one another. Something in us comes alive when we are known, supported, and surrounded by people who offer a steady and meaningful presence. Because we grow and become through relationship, the connections we form shape how we see ourselves and how we move through the world. When we share our lives with trusted women who can name our strengths, honor our stories, and walk beside us, we deepen our sense of identity and expand our capacity to give and receive love. This is the gift of community: we remember who we are, we remember we are not alone, and we learn to give and receive the kind of connection we were made for as we discover the joy of flourishing together.

BELONG. CONNECT. FLOURISH.
