LEADERS
Our leaders are wonderful women who will come alongside you to help you grow in your Christian walk. They aren’t perfect but are mature and growing Christians who know the value of biblical mentoring. Whether a mentor, teacher, hostess, co-hostess, or prayer warrior, you can be assured these women desire to spiritually pour into you.
MENTEE
- What is a mentee? Simply, a mentee is a younger woman, whether single or married, who desires to learn from an older woman.
- What age are mentees? For this program, typically younger means 20’s – 40’s; however, any woman who feels “spiritually young” can be a mentee.

IN CLOSING
Scripture teaches that God’s design is to have someone pour into you and for you to pour into someone else. Is that flow happening in your life? If so, wonderful, praise God, and continue! If not, please consider how to begin that process, whether it’s through our mentoring program or done on your own. Those relationships will be life changing!
