Where Women in Church Planting Gather & Connect In Community

Find gospel-rooted feedback and support for the challenges you face, no more feeling isolated.

Alongside Group Dynamics

Alongside Groups give you time and space to be restored and renewed in the gospel. They normalize the confusing and often painful experiences of ministry, inviting you to entrust your life to Jesus and to one another.

These groups of four to six women are led by trained, empathetic leaders who are further down the road of planting and have the heart to bring women along. Groups offer an opportunity to experience connection and personal change in ways that do not occur on our own.

You’ll walk away with six practical tools and new relationships with women who understand your unique context. You’ll participate in peer coaching to give and receive empathy, feedback, and gospel perspective with the hope that all involved will grow together in gospel-based resilience to navigate the current issues you face.
