Core Values & Beliefs
- We believe women can derive much from healthy friendships with other women. They help her grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. We also believe the research indicates that there are several physical benefits, as well, including longevity of life, reduced stress, and greater life satisfaction.
- We believe women need a break, time to relax, laugh, and have fun while also being encouraged.
- We believe women need a platform to share with other women what they have learned and in so doing find fulfillment while encouraging others.
- We believe women are effective contributors in the home and the workforce. We believe that she and others benefit greatly when the position in which she is placed is one she finds fulfilling (i.e. involves an area of passion), that gives her the opportunity to use her skills, presents a healthy challenge, and offers opportunity for personal growth and development.
- We believe women have been designed to be in relationship with God through His Son, Jesus. While many have been frustrated and/or hurt by religion, we believe a personal relationship with Jesus, not religion, provides hope and gives life meaning.
- We believe the Bible is God's inspired and infallible Word through which He desires to reveal Himself and His will for our lives. We further believe that as a person reads the Bible they have the opportunity to encounter the Author Himself.
- We believe God is glorified and others are enriched when women effectively use their God-given gifts, talents, and resources whether it's at home, in the community, at church, the workforce and/or other ministry opportunities.
