OUR MISSION
Equip
We aim to equip women in God’s Word for the specific call of sharing the Gospel and fostering intentional discipleship relationships in our unique spheres of influence. We do this through in-depth Bible study, mentoring relationships, and training in Christian ministry. Our goal is for women to grow in Biblical literacy, love God’s Word more, and flourish in discipleship relationships.
Encourage
As sisters in Christ, we seriously take God’s call for us to come alongside and encourage one another with words and actions of comfort, truth, strength, and grace. Whether through mentoring relationships, support groups, showing care in hard seasons of life, praying for one another, or regular joyful fellowship — we want to be known as women who intentionally encourage one another daily. Our hope is for the world to see our genuine love for one another and glorify God.
Engage
We believe true discipleship happens in relationships. ABF Women strongly prioritizes engaging with one another in all we do. We want to see robust, healthy, life-giving relationships that foster discipleship by pointing them to Jesus. We also want to be women who are actively engaging with the world around us to build relationships and proclaim the true Gospel of grace.
