Flourish Women’s Mentoring
Flourish is designed to help women grow spiritually by guiding them through Scripture in a mentoring discipleship relationship. You will commit to a one-year journey with a mentor and experience community with other mentees regularly. You and your mentor will dive into Scripture, exploring topics like identity, calling, and gratitude. We believe a mentoring relationship between women of different seasons + stages can be rich soil for such growth. When mentor and mentee join together as deeply rooted women in God’s Word, they bear the fruit that only comes from soaking in His promises. So what are you waiting for?
