Providence Heights
We equip and connect women to deepen their faith and discover their purpose so they can disciple and lead across generations.
Illuminate Cohorts
We exist to transform a woman's journey toward emotional, spiritual, and physical flourishing within an accountable community built upon the love of Jesus. A deepened faith and discovery of purpose in Christ are needed for communities to thrive.
Harvard recently released a survey that discovered that 58% of young adults feel "purposeless" and concluded that a greater understanding of purpose and calling in one's life is critical to reversing the tides of these trends. Studies reveal that young women of faith are disappearing from the church—significantly impacting the health of discipleship initiatives nationwide.
More than 56% of Christians believe that their spiritual life is entirely private. If over half of Christians believe that to be true, then what would the motivation be to give up your own time for the benefit of someone else, let alone open and be vulnerable to another believer. The need for Christ-centered relationships has never been higher.
Currently, we see that 39% of Christians are not engaged in discipleship in any way. Over one-third of women in America currently experience depression. Post-pandemic, heavy alcohol use among women has risen 41%. With growing stats around anxiety, depression, and isolation and decreasing stats on Church attendance, we want to stand in this gap and help disciple women in deepening their faith and discovering their purpose.

Dear Future Luminary,
At Providence Heights, we believe that when a woman reaches a holy crossroad—when life feels disoriented, uncertain, or weary—it’s not wasted in God’s economy. It holds a sacred value and is an invitation to surrender and let God do something extraordinary. This is where sparks of renewal begin. And that’s why we created Illuminate.
Illuminate is made up of six 18-week virtual journeys designed for the in-between spaces of life. It’s a tent that is safe and Spirit-filled. A place where women rediscover who they are in Christ and how to walk in that identity with boldness and clarity.
We don’t just offer a curated curriculum — we cultivate confessional community. Here, women speak truthfully about the past, honestly about faith, and hopefully about the future. They are seen, prayed for, challenged, and celebrated. Women don’t come to escape their story—but to meet Christ within it. What begins as a Zoom call becomes a sacred space, a modern-day meeting in the tent.
And during these 18-weeks, something holy happens: small courageous moments of redemption—the glow of restoration that transforms a woman’s life and begins to reshape her family, church, and community. The extraordinary is revealed through Spirit-filled, ordinary acts of brave vulnerability and surrender.
We walk this journey slowly and intentionally. One cohort journey at a time because discipleship and growth takes time. It’s the renewing of the mind, the restoration of sacred trust, and the reawakening to a God who never left—and whose promises are just waiting for them.
The world doesn’t need more content. It needs presence. It needs healed, discipled, Spirit-led women—carrying light into places others have left behind.
To recover joy. To reclaim beauty. To remember they are beloved.
This is how revival begins...in the tent. Step inside and have a look.
