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.
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.
One-on-One Mentorship - We pair women who desire to mentor with women seeking guidance, encouragement, and friendship. Each pair commits to meeting twice a month for one hour, creating space for trust, wisdom, and growth.
Quarterly Gatherings - Four times a year, the entire Village comes together for dinners, keynote speakers, workshops, and activities designed to inspire, equip, and connect.
A Culture of Belonging - Through shared stories, skills, and life experiences, women discover that they are not alone—and that their voices, gifts, and journeys matter.
We were made to need one another especially when it comes to healing. True connection with God and with those around us who offer a meaningful and kind presence brings healing and hope to the deep wounds in our hearts. We were hurt in relationship, and we will heal in relationship. When we share our stories with trusted guides who are able to help us name both our woundedness and goodness, we cultivate a greater understanding of ourselves and a deeper capacity to embrace our identity more fully and engage in life-giving relationships with God and others. God made us for relationship. We were created for each other.
While healing and freedom are certainly worthy intentions, they are not the end goal in life. Your healing is meant to catapult you into the world to be the person God created you to be. But you cannot know your identity and purpose without understanding your story. God takes what evil intended for harm and creates goodness, beauty, and authority in you to be utilized for the kingdom of God. Engaging our stories is a gift we give ourselves. Sharing our stories is a gift we give others by offering a glimpse of what it means to be human and of the struggles that are common to us all and inviting others into relationship. Healing is for you, but it is also for those around you. We are freed from our past for our future.
