The Women’s Collective
We are a collective of diverse women in culture, age, and denomination, united under the banner of faith and purpose in Jesus Christ to form one unified body of women, being the answer to Jesus’ prayer in John 17. Our mission is founded on three key principles:
To UNITE through love
To UPLIFT women to take on new heights in life and in God.
To UNLOCK the God-given potential within each woman, fostering a community that reflects the beauty of God’s Kingdom.
“God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early (at the dawn of the morning)”
- Psalm 46:5 AMPC

Three Key Principles
UNITE: To build a community of women where they can gather in a safe space in harmony, fostering love and understanding as one body in Christ.
As members of this collective, we will embrace our diversity as a strength; working together for the glory of God and the good of each other.
“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” -Ephesians 4:3 (NIV)
UPLIFT: To encourage, empower, support, and build each other up in faith and good works.
By uplifting one another, we create a nurturing space where every woman can grow spiritually, emotionally, and in her God-given purpose.
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
-1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)
UNLOCK: To release the potential and spiritual gifts that God has placed within each woman.
Unlocking potential empowers each woman to live boldly in her calling, contributing to the collective mission of advancing God’s Kingdom.
“Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good”
-1 Corinthians 12:7 (NIV)
