GATHERINGS
Where real connection begins.
GATHERINGS
What to Expect
Each Gathering creates space for women to come together around Scripture, encouragement, prayer, and authentic conversation. While every Gathering may look a little different, our focus remains the same: growing closer to Jesus and encouraging one another in faith.
Some Gatherings may include biblical teaching, group discussion, prayer, testimony, guest facilitators, or conversations inspired by the needs and questions of the women attending. Rather than following a rigid format, we want to create a welcoming environment where women can connect, learn, share, and grow together.
Whether you're new to faith, returning to the Lord, or simply looking for genuine Christian community, you'll find a place to belong, be encouraged, and strengthen your walk with Christ.
Through Scripture, prayer, and authentic relationships, we'll encourage one another to walk in truth, stand firm in God's Word, and grow in a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Walking in Truth – Facilitated by Jenn Nizza
A Scripture-centered gathering for women who desire to deepen their relationship with Jesus and grow in the truth of God’s Word.

Anchor – Facilitated by Christi Wilkes
Anchor is a group committed to examining Scripture in depth, discussing biblical themes and teachings, and growing in our understanding and application of God's Word.

Note: As we grow, we will continue adding new Gatherings and new times to serve women in every season and every timezone.

No two gatherings need to look exactly the same, but the purpose remains:

No Two Gatherings Are Exactly the Same
Some gatherings may include a short teaching, more open conversation, focused prayer time, or testimony sharing. The goal is not a rigid format, but a space where women can connect and grow in faith together.
