WOMEN'S MENTORING
Walk With Me
At Calvary, we believe no woman should walk alone. If you’re seeking encouragement, prayer, a listening ear, or a deeper relationship with God—or feel led to offer that to another—our Walk With Me mentoring program is for you. This is a personalized journey designed to foster meaningful connection and spiritual growth.
If you’re interested in being mentored or being a mentor please read the FAQ’s below or contact Jennifer Ruble with more questions and then complete the appropriate form.

How are women paired?
1. Fill out a mentor form here.
2. Meet with the mentoring team leads. This allows us to know you better and helps us find a meaningful connection for you.
3. After prayerful consideration, we provide the mentee with contact information for thepotential mentor. It is the mentee’s responsibility to reach out to her to set a meet up. At this point there is no commitment. The meeting is for you both to get a sense whether the match feels like a good fit. We encourage you to meet a few times to see if a relationship begins to grow.
If not, please let the mentoring team leads know.
What does mentoring look like?
This is determined by the needs of the mentee. It is important to agree about how you both will spend your time together and how you like to connect between meetings. It can be catching up on life, talking about the sermon, doing a study, and praying for each other.
How often would we meet?
This is determined by both women, and we encourage at least twice a month so that a strong relationship can grow. This can be adjusted as needs and circumstances change.
How long would we meet?
It is important to talk about expectations at the first meeting. It generally helps to meet for a semester and then honestly evaluate needs and desires to continue for an agreed time period.
What happens when one of us wants to stop meeting?
This can often happen as life and needs change.
Please share such concerns with each other. If this feels awkward or difficult, please reach out to the mentor team leads. They want to support you.
What support do mentors receive?
Once your mentor profile is received you will be contacted by a mentor team lead to schedule an in person meet up. You will receive resources to get started and given a liaison from the mentor team. This point person is there to pray for you, answer questions, and provide you support.There are 2 interactive mentor training sessions each year. These are a great way to meet other mentors, share ideas and grow.
