Heartfelt Friends
Heartfelt Friends is a Titus 2 women’s ministry designed to develop closer relationships across generations.
Learn More
So, what are the purposes of this ministry?
• OUR GOAL is to walk closer with God.
• OUR VISION is to encourage and build faith in the next generation of Christian women.
• OUR MISSION is to pass on the legacy of faith and family to the next generation and for God to increase our love for others.
Heartfelt Friends is for women of all ages! We are grandmothers, moms, aunts, daughters, and friends. We are married, widowed, divorced or single. Most importantly, we are all sisters in Christ Jesus! We are put into a church fellowship for a reason: to share life, to bear each other’s burdens, to share our joys, to build and strengthen each other’s faith, to provide support in the lives of our families, and to share our journey of faith in Jesus. To do this, we need to have opportunities to make deeper, more authentic connections.
Heartfelt Friends provides these opportunities by bringing women, Heart Moms and Heart Sisters, together once a month on a predetermined day, week, and time (for example, the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7:00PM), in the comfort and more intimate setting of a “host home”, for a season of 8 months (October-May). Heart Moms (the older women) provide a meal, mentor, nurture, pray over and encourage Heart Sisters (the younger women).
This all starts with the Heart Moms and the willingness to open your homes and hearts!
A HEART MOM is a Christian woman who is at least 40 years of age, whose children (if any) are out of high school. She helps to disciple younger women in God’s teachings concerning their roles as women, particularly as wives and mothers. She shares her faith, her own joys and struggles, and the things she has learned while building a life and home that desires to honor God. Typically, there are 3-5 Heart Moms in each group, depending on the size of the group. There are two roles for Heart Moms:
• A “Host Home” Heart Mom opens her home for the 8-month season to a group of 8-12 women. The group size is a total of the Heart Moms and Heart Sisters, with the group size being determined by the Host Home Mom.
• A “Helper” Heart Mom assists the Host Home Mom in preparation for each monthly gathering. This includes helping to provide the meal, leading the devotional/Bible study/discussion topic, planning activities (crafts/games/service projects, etc.), leading prayer time… whatever the Heart Moms in each group plan to do on the evening their group meets
A HEART SISTER is a younger Christian woman. She is a wife and/or mother with children (newborn – 12th grade), a single mom, divorced or widowed. She is the guest of honor and will meet with her group to enjoy a meal, fellowship, friendship, be loved on, lifted up, and be fed spiritually.
The commitment for both Heart Moms and Heart Sisters is to attend the same group, in the same “host home” for the entire 8-month season (October-May, annually) to help build trust in community. Once you are part of a group, we hope and pray that you will continue with your group for seasons to come, deepening your relationship with God and all the precious women in your group!

Embrace Grace
Our partnership with Embrace Grace gives us the opportunity to help women see that they can have their baby and their dreams too! We help women experiencing unexpected pregnancies receive practical, spiritual, and emotional support as they prepare for their baby! Being pro-life is a stance, a belief system, a vote. And it’s important. But being pro-love is an action, the boots on the ground, the hands and feet of Jesus, the church. Together, we can make abortion unthinkable.
Breaking the Cycle
Women experiencing toxic relationships are often left not knowing where to turn and not knowing who to trust. Breaking the Cycle provides support, Godly counsel, and a safe space to begin the process of healing.
