Walking with Purpose
The heart of our ministry is our parish-based Bible study program for adult women. Run by local lay women volunteers, approved by parish pastors, and supported by Walking with Purpose national staff, our parish programs welcome all women irrespective of faith background, age, or marital status. The program incorporates at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion, and monthly talks on relevant study material.
Each parish program is led by a volunteer leadership team whose members receive online training and ongoing mentoring through our acclaimed leadership development program. The Walking with Purpose leadership development program gives leaders the tools needed to effectively evangelize women in the parish community and the confidence to launch a WWP parish program without depleting scarce parish resources.
If you attend WWP as a part of a parish program, you'll meet weekly either to discuss the lesson or watch an inspirational video at a Connect Coffee. Classes meet for about 90 minutes weekly, usually beginning in September and ending in April. Most programs schedule breaks around holidays to coincide with local school calendars, and many programs offer childcare.

Upcoming Study:
Discovering Our Dignity
Women of the Old and New Testaments were as flawed and broken as we can be, yet the power of God worked in their lives. Discovering Our Dignity will allow you to learn from their experiences and uncover ways to deal with unwanted circumstances and deferred hopes.
Through their stories recorded in Scripture, women of the Bible reach out to touch our “present” in a tender, honest, and loving way—woman to woman—with ancient wisdom, sage advice, and insights from sorrowful failures and emotional wounds.
Learn how God worked in the lives of Biblical women:
Sisters Leah and Rachel overcame jealousy when they learned that God offered all that they really needed.
Abigail’s faith was so strong she didn’t despair, no matter how unpleasant life was with her husband.
Deborah had been given grace by God to act as His prophet, for the good of her people.
Mary’s “yes” to God—her fiat—changed everything. How else did her words and deeds influence Jesus and vice versa?
