Our Mission
To love, equip and send women who will model the Titus 2 relationship of mentoring by listening, encouraging and praying for one another while growing in their relationship with each other and Jesus.
As a woman who attends Concord Baptist Church, we invite you to be a part of our next Flourish journey through Concord Baptist Church, beginning January 2025!
Our team is excited to bring women together and connect them to grow in Christ and develop godly relationships that will spur one another on in the faith.
Flourish is a 9 month long mentoring Journey and commitment where we pair you with a group or a mentor. As part of the Flourish Journey, you’ll have the gift of walking through the year with a mentor who is a few years ahead of you in life. It’s an opportunity to draw closer to Jesus as you experience life-change through prayer, the Word of God and community with each other.
