When women choose community, opportunities for connection, encouragement, hope, and friendships abound! In Christian community, faith is infused, souls are refreshed, strength is fortified, and we are better able to “encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). When we’re in relationship with like-hearted sisters in Christ, we can navigate the ups and downs of life alongside one another … and even have some fun along the way!
HCL creates all kinds of opportunities for women to get connected. We offer activity-based meet up groups, ladies’ nights at local establishments, small group Bible studies, and more! Check out these current ways to jump in!
