Who We Are
Woman is an empowering program designed to facilitate the transforming journey of Christian womanhood by developing participants’ relationship with God, themselves, others, and Creation. Woman creates a path through the confusing messages about the meaning of Christian womanhood through a life-changing rite of passage. Participants become firm in their identity and empowered to be their true selves in the world.
Why We Exist
DISCOVER IDENTITY
Women often become the person their world wants them to be, hiding and losing the person they were created to be.
Woman guides us on a journey to discover our unique identity through developing relationship with God, self, others, and creation.
ENGAGE BODY & SPIRIT
Women often have complicated relationships with their bodies and tend to prioritize their spirits.
As we actively engage the Holy Spirit for transformation, Woman guides us on a journey to understand, appreciate, and integrate the rhythms of our bodies and our spirits.
EMPOWER VOICE
Women are often silenced in multiple arenas.
Woman guides us on a journey that restores our physical voice and our metaphorical voice; we both speak and we engage in diverse creative expression.

Woman is not just another Bible study. It is truly a transformative community journey, founded by Dr. Amy Davis Abdallah and based on years of doctoral-level research and practice. The women who participate no longer look to a romantic relationship or a personal role to define themselves; they learn and embrace who God has formed them to be in their unique relationship with God, self, others, and creation.

What Women Are Saying
“
I love mentoring women throughout this program because it is truly amazing to watch how God uses it to transform girls into godly women before my very eyes. Amy offers clear guidelines, tremendous support, and beautiful ceremonies where you can actually see the fruit of your labor of love. It is amazing to see a group of confident, world-changing women gather together at the end of the year to present what the Lord has done.

Do you know a woman peeling back untapped layers to explore her God-appointed existence? Are you aware of someone with a desire to discover or recover the best version of herself? I strongly recommend Dr. Amy Davis Abdallah’s Woman program. It is truly a life-altering rite of passage. As a proud mentor, at each Crossing Over Ceremony, I witnessed mentees arise from their personal excavation to exchange beauty for ashes. The Woman transformation is remarkable!

Woman made me realize that I thought it wasn't enough to be a woman. My chances were less. My voice was less. I'd do better being a man. But the consistent message was to embrace myself as a woman. And that is what I'm doing.

Through Woman, I gained a deeper respect for myself as a woman of God. I have learned to accept myself more, and to embrace the freedom I have in Christ. Before I felt so limited as a women. However, now I feel free to be who I am, with all of my abilities, thoughts, feminine characteristics, and even the so called "masculine" ones, like leadership.
