Women
Welcome to the world of women who follow Jesus. They are confident in God’s love for them, have a strong sense of identity and a unique sense of purpose. They love God extravagantly and long to see others know Him too. Jesus is their Saviour, God is their Father and the Holy Spirit is their enabler. As women of faith, they serve with passion, love with purpose and reflect Jesus.
OUR VISION:
To be women who RADIATE CHRIST in our everyday lives, BRINGING CHANGE to our nation.
OUR MISSION:
To express the nature and character of Christ through
• Authentic friendships
• Intentional mentoring
• Freedom in the Holy Spirit
