UNITED

These one night events are for women across the Tampa Bay region to join at a central location. We gather to encounter God's presence. It's a time to hear from God how He uniquely uses women in their homes, places of work, and schools to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.

OASIS PREGNANCY CARE CENTERS

Oasis is a local non-profit that supports women throughout pregnancy and their child's infancy. LC Women supports Oasis's 'Cribs to Bibs' program, which provides cribs, car seats, and breast pumps.

Watoto

Watoto Neighborhood - The harsh reality is that many women in Africa have been left to bear the brunt of war, poverty and disease. Millions of our sisters have been abandoned and robbed of all dignity. Uneducated and unemployable, they are left to suffer alone with no means to support themselves and their children.

But together, we’re changing this by providing adult literacy classes, discipleship, business skills training and job opportunities. As we embrace these women with God’s love, they find hope and purpose.

Single Moms & Widows

This ministry provides handiwork and lawn care and small repairs for single mothers and widows. They also provide a network of prayer and facilitate gatherings in order to build a sense of community.
