Our Story

What began as a weekly devotional has since grown into a rich well of testimony, biblical resources, prayer and encouragement.

Monthly we gather to be equipped and empowered in our walk with Christ in order to remain rooted and grounded in him and serve as faithful disciples wherever he has called us to be.

Only one thing is necessary..

  • We believe in keeping things simple with one goal in mind: remain in Christ. The aim is to cultivate an environment where women can grow spiritually, be supported in their faith journey, and be equipped to share the gospel with others.

    We meet monthly: gathering virtually for a biblical teaching, word of encouragement and guided prayer.


    We offer biblical resources: study guides, reading plans, devotionals, all tailored to foster spiritual growth.
