I enjoyed...

"The opportunity to share, learn and grow with/from a variety of women - not just in age, but in life stage and insight re how to live out God's Word in the day to day decisions and moments!"

"Growing and learning spiritually, and making connections with ladies of all age groups at church, whom I may not have met otherwise."

"Studying with the younger generation."

"Discipleship and meaningful connections with one another."

"Getting to know other women in the church. Small group time helps to build more intentional relationships and meaningful conversations."

"Being surrounded by God loving ladies and sharing our journey of faith together."

"Being a part of an absolutely amazing, kind, and welcoming community that inspires and guides me."

"Fellowship with women in ECCC of different age/background from me, with whom I have not really spoken to much in the past despite being in the same church for many years."

"The vulnerability and transparency of each woman in our group. We get along really well!"

IWG has..

"Helped in understanding many core values, and being able to discuss these with the other women helped me better understand a more practical perspective."

"Serving and worshipping God is best done in a community and with discipleship."

"Allowed me to discuss theology in a supportive environment."

"As a busy mom, it can be easy to let my devotional life slide. The IWG curriculum along with the accountability of the sisters in Christ have kept my mind and heart connected to the word of God in this season. It is encouraging to see God's word being applied by other women from different stages of life."

"Allow[ed] me space to rely on others and share life burdens (big and small) that otherwise I would carry alone and also allowed me to share in the joys of the lives of those around me."

"Taught me that I have much to learn from other women no matter what stage of life they are in - I can learn from mothers, from grandmothers, from students... similarly, I've also found that I can offer these same women encouragements and valuable insights even though I am young and just a student! Overall, I have learned that as a church, it is so important, rich and needed to connect with and learn from one another in sincere, vulnerable ways - there is a reason God designed us to be in community!"

"Taught me that we constantly need to pursue God individually and within our community."

"Kept me on track when I was too busy with other life things. Taught me through my tough times on how to pray."
