Our Mission
We are here to encourage and support young adult women who want to deepen their spiritual lives, be of service, and make change for a better world.
We create safe welcoming space for sharing, discussion, personal growth, community building:
- Sharing meals
- Scripture reflection and study
- Book club
- Discussions about life, work, faith, family, culture, etc.
- Online gatherings for prayer and reflection, scripture study, and community meals
- Opportunities for community leadership and service
Women belong here!
It's a challenging and exciting time to be a woman in early adulthood. If you are looking for the support and encouragement you need to become your best self, Cor Unum may be able to help.
With us, you'll find:
the encouragement of women who've journeyed ahead of you toward a purposeful, meaningful life;
the companionship of women whose experience has proven there's more to life than the crushing pressure for perfection;
and, the space and the grace to meet yourself, created uniquely by God for a purpose beyond your imagining.
