Mission:

To seek Christ first in everything we do, as we walk together in faith, align our lives with God’s purpose, and empower one another to use our strengths for His glory. Through fellowship, we will encourage spiritual growth, discern our purpose, and strive for obedience in all areas of our lives.

Scripture:
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." – Matthew 6:33

Vision:

To be a community of women fully armored in Christ, walking in His purpose, and trusting His plan for our lives. We strive to deepen our relationship with God through daily prayer, reading His Word, and worship. Together, we will embrace obedience, faith, and sacrifice, knowing that God’s promises are ahead of us if we faithfully follow His lead.

Scripture:
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes." – Ephesians 6:11

The Armor of God, as described in Ephesians 6:10-18, consists of six key elements that symbolize the spiritual defenses God provides to protect believers from spiritual attack:

1. The Belt of Truth

   • "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist."

   • This represents honesty, integrity, and the truth of God’s Word that holds everything together.

2. The Breastplate of Righteousness

   • "With the breastplate of righteousness in place."

   • This symbolizes living a life of righteousness and being morally upright, which guards our hearts from the enemy’s attacks.

3. The Gospel of Peace (Shoes of Readiness)

   • "And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace."

   • This refers to being prepared to proclaim the gospel and live in the peace of God, which helps us stand firm in our faith.

4. The Shield of Faith

   • "Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."

   • Faith in God protects us from the enemy’s lies, doubts, and temptations.

5. The Helmet of Salvation

   • "Take the helmet of salvation."

   • This symbolizes our confidence in the saving grace of Jesus Christ, protecting our minds from fear and discouragement.

6. The Sword of the Spirit (Word of God)

   • "And the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

   • The Word of God is our offensive weapon, allowing us to fight against lies, temptations, and deceptions by knowing and applying Scripture.

Bonus:

• Prayer (often considered the 7th element):

  • "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests."

  • Though not symbolized as a piece of armor, prayer is the foundation that binds everything together and empowers us in our spiritual battle.

By "putting on" these spiritual defenses daily, we are better equipped to stand strong in our faith and resist the enemy’s attacks.

Meeting Etiquette:

• Speak Life: Only positive and life-affirming words will be spoken during the meeting. Complaining is not allowed.

• Focus on God’s Work: Stay focused on the task and purpose God has for each of us.

• Respect the Spirit: Allow the Holy Spirit to move in the meeting without speaking over others or dominating the discussion.

• Pre- and Post-Prayer Requests: Share any prayer requests before and after the meeting to lift one another up.

• Encourage Each Other: This is a space of love, faith, and encouragement; build each other up in Christ.
