Mentoring

Experience the rich rewards of a mentoring relationship. One of the most meaningful and encouraging friendships that can exist between Christian women is that of an older woman sharing her heart with a younger woman. If you are interested in a one on one, woman to woman discipling relationship, are serious about growing in your walk with God and willing to make a commitment to accountability, you may be ready for this God designed connection with another woman. Training as a mentor is available. Contact Janice (503) 364-2285 or (541) 760-3649.
