Mentoring Young Leaders

In Titus 2:3-5, the older women are instructed to train up and share knowledge and encourage the younger women. God has raised up young women among us who are beginning to take on the mantel of leadership. The Holy Spirit is fanning the flame of passion for God’s word among young leaders. As we strive to promote unity among the churches and women of the Mid-Willamette Valley, God is directing us to mentor and train up tomorrow’s leaders. We hope you will enjoy learning about their hopes, dreams and vision for the future as you read their stories.
