Women today face many challenges and opportunities. We believe that God has shaped each of us with unique gifts, abilities and experiences in our lives to help meet each others needs in the body of Christ 
(1 Peter 4:10).

Our intent is to encourage one another by building relationships with all women in all seasons of life through fellowship, mentoring, Bible study and yearly retreats. 

If you have any questions, ministry ideas or would like to be involved in planning women's events, please contact Denise Jensen at 
bjensen623@verizon.net
