Church mentoring program

Our ministry includes women with different maturity levels in Christ and in different seasons of life. Mentors share their experiences with mentees who are seeking insight and encouragement to live a Christ-centered life. The goal is to form strong friendships that are a source of support, growth and strength. A mentor is a wise woman who is mature in faith, a devoted Christ follower who leads by His example and strives to live a Christ-centered life through every season.

She is willing to listen, share skills and insight and provide a positive perspective for life experiences. She provides spiritually sound guidance and encouragement because she knows the path a little better.

A mentee is a woman who welcomes the insight and knowledge of a more mature woman. She desires to grow and develop certain skills and strengths for her personal and spiritual journey. She is looking for a friend who has dealt with the struggles and phase of life she now faces. This only works if both mentor and mentee are engaged and communicating regularly. We ask for you to make contact once a week text, call, email , meet together as your schedules permit, pray for each other regularly and always be ready to listen, share and encourage each other.

In the end, it was a result of me being obedient and responding to what God put in front of me. Then God moved my family from Maryland to North Carolina.

She asked me to consider starting a mentoring ministry for the women at the church. I just chuckled, because my heart was already prepared and longing for an opportunity just like this. I felt like God had been doing amazing things in Maryland and that was only the beginning of what He wanted me to continue doing in North Carolina. The article turned into a five-part series on mentoring!

I think you have enough to write a book. I never set out to write a book! It was not on my bucket list of things to do. I believe mentoring in the church should be approached from a communal, relational context.

When you think of mentoring, you probably automatically picture a one-on-one scenario. What we know from the Bible is that it is an Eastern book. This means culturally and contextually, the Bible is often referring to what is happening within community, family, people groups, and what is best for the whole. It instead focuses on what Jesus wants the disciples to learn as a group, for the purpose of shaping and changes the nations who cry out to God.

Think back to the creation story and the birth of Adam. What I think is critical to see is that God was present with Adam in the garden, and the garden was originally a sinless environment. Adam being paired with someone compatible is something God valued, and he still values today for His children. Pastors and those that have been identified as leaders in the church are often dealing with burnout. This is mainly due to the church not adequately training or equipping other leaders. If we are raising up, through mentorship, people in the church with an understanding of their purpose and identity in light of who God is, we will find ourselves with more leaders.
