Friday Night Fellowship

First Friday of each month — a gathering created for women.

Women are invited into a welcoming space to slow down, rest, and encounter the love of the Father. Through the Word, worship, meditation, and prayer, there is room to step away from the busyness of life and simply be in God’s presence — refreshed, encouraged, and reminded of who they are in Christ.

Location and time coming soon.

  • Ancient Paths: Blessing Generations & Covenant Marriage
  • School of Kingdom Ministry classes, ongoing
  • Training to serve on the prayer team at her church
  • Women’s ministry: clothing, resources, holiday gifts, and community

A network without borders

To connect people to people, ministries, and resources where they can find biblical healing, inner healing, deliverance, and restoration — locally, nationally, and internationally.
