Life is so much better shared with our girlfriends! We have many doorways through which you can find people who will welcome and encourage you on your Christian journey.

You are guaranteed to laugh, cry, be challenged and inspired to use your God given talents to make a difference in your world

We'd love to have you involved and encourage you to check out the various women's events and activities we hold throughout the year.

• GIRLFRIENDS’ Breakfasts – Several Saturday mornings throughout the year, we have breakfast in the GCC Café with wellknown guest speakers telling their stories.

• GIRLFRIENDS Active – regular social activities with a definite physical appeal.

• Moving On After Moving In – A group of women who know what it is like to arrive in a big city and unpack the boxes. They are ready to welcome you and ease the settling-in process.

• Small Groups – Small groups of women meet regularly throughout the city, for Bible studies, prayer and encouragement.

• GIRLFRIENDS Conference – In the middle of the year we have a weekend conference with outstanding speakers and electives guaranteed to inspire, inform and entertain.

See 'Girlfriend's Calendar' for more details of upcoming events.
