All women need girlfriends!  And that's what we are about - helping women connect to other women and to Jesus.  We invite you to come and grow with us through Girlfriends at Gloria Dei.
Friendships to encourage you - Whenever women come together and share in the love of Christ, friendships develop and deepen. Thursday mornings during the school year, moms find encouragement, fun and wisdom shared at the MOMS group. 
Bible studies to enrich you
- Weekly Bible classes on Wednesday mornings and Monday evenings are a place where you can grow in your knowledge of God's Word and learn how it can really make a difference in how you live your life.
Girls Nights Out to refresh you - Enjoy an evening out with your girlfriends - these evenings are designed for laughter and just plain fun. It might be a special party or a night at the movies.  These and other women's events are planned just for you and your friends.
