The purpose of this blog is to provide helpful resources and support to the women of Taft Avenue Community Church. Our ultimate goal is to encourage women in Christ by connecting them with God and each other so they will grow in their faith. This will enable them to reach out with the gospel and with God's love to other women in the church and in the community.
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine.

- Titus 2:3-5 ESV
