Women's Mentoring Ministry
As a young woman, have you ever wanted insight or wisdom from an older Christian woman? Or to talk with someone who’s experienced the ups-and-downs of life to gain perspective or direction?
As an older but not perfect woman, have you recognized the importance of pouring into a younger woman and guiding and encouraging her as she navigates life and spiritual growth?
Then perhaps our mentoring program would be perfect for you. Using a small-group format, we will follow the Titus 2 model where older women teach and encourage younger women to authentically seek and follow Jesus in their daily lives.
Here's how it works:
Women's Mentoring Ministry Overview
- How many women? Groups of 8-12 women will meet each week. That will include 2-4 mentors, 2-4 mentees, hostess, co-hostess, prayer warrior, and teacher.
- How long? 8-9 weeks.
- When? Tuesday mornings, Tuesday evenings and Wednesday nights.
- Where? Tuesday morning groups and Tuesday night groups will meet in various homes in the community, and Wednesday night groups will meet either in a home near the church, or at the church.
- Prayer support: A prayer warrior will be faithfully praying specifically for everyone in your group.
- Weekly content? Each week you'll have a meal provided by your hostess & co-hostess, guided group discussion questions, a lesson taught by a teacher, followed by guided application questions for the mentor and mentee to discuss.
