Together in Grace

Building Community Through Women’s Discipleship

It is a joy and honor to serve our Cornerstone Women as the new Women’s Discipleship Specialist. Over the past several months, I have enjoyed meeting many of you and hearing how God is moving among the women in your local churches. For those I have not yet had the opportunity to meet, I sincerely look forward to connecting with you soon.

Each conversation I’ve had has reminded me that women’s ministry is not just about programs—it’s about people. It’s about women walking together in faith, encouraging one another, and growing in their relationship with Christ.

At Cornerstone, our goal is to stay connected and work together to equip and encourage women to grow in faith and service within their local churches and communities. No matter what phase of life you find yourself in—whether you are a student discovering your purpose, a mother nurturing the next generation, a leader guiding others in faith, or a woman simply seeking renewal—God’s grace meets you right where you are.

Values of Women's Discipleship

Women Encourage and Build One Another in Faith

Titus reminds us that spiritual maturity leads to mentoring the next generation: “Teach the older women to be reverent…to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women…” — Titus 2:3–4 (NIV)

Women’s ministry gives space for this biblical calling: to nurture, disciple, and multiply faith within our churches.

Women Cultivate Spiritual Growth and Unity

When women gather around God’s Word, they deepen their faith and strengthen their unity in Christ.

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom…”

— Colossians 3:16 (NIV)

Together, we become a living testimony of God’s grace: growing stronger in love, prayer, and purpose.

Be encouraged! God’s grace is constant, His promises are sure, and His presence is with you in every season.

I’m excited to share that we are already preparing for our Cornerstone Women’s 2026 OneDay event—a time set apart for worship, inspiration, and connection. More details will be coming soon, and I can’t wait to see how God will use this special gathering to strengthen and unite us.

Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I look forward to partnering with each of you as we continue to build a community of women who love, serve, and grow together in Christ. As we go forward, please let me know how I can best support you and your vision for reaching the women in your church and community.

Held In His Grip,
