Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Flourish?

  Flourish is a year-long mentoring program created by Passion City Church that connects women everywhere in a curriculum-based mentoring relationship to encourage and challenge one another in their walks with Jesus. Flourish calls women to a higher standard of living following the commands in Titus 2:3-5, a God-filled life for the sake of the Gospel.

• Who can use Flourish?

  We encourage women in all stages and seasons of life who desire to strengthen their relationship with Jesus to engage with Flourish mentoring. In building our curriculum, we believe it is best experienced by women 18 and older, always paired with a women ahead of her in years and in her spiritual walk. With that truth in mind, everyone seeking mentorship as they choose to live a life rooted in the Word of God is encouraged to consider how Flourish can fit into their life.

  All you need is a willingness to commit to the journey! That’s what FLOURISH is for — to help you grow in your walk with Jesus. Your mentor may not have all the answers, but she will open Scripture and walk with you as you gain a better understanding of who Jesus is. So, in other words, you need just the right amount of maturity to stick to your commitment and press on to see what God has in store for you through this opportunity!

• What are the monthly and weekly requirements?

  Whether participating in Flourish through Passion City Church or on your own, we suggest meetings take place monthly and include opportunities for mentors to connect with their mentees one-on-one as well as opportunities for women to gather as a group with their shared mentor.

  We encourage women to build daily devotional time into their lives, spending time in the Word five days a week. Everything you need for the journey is provided in the Flourish curriculum, including your daily devotionals!

• Do I get to pick my mentor?

  If you are using Flourish for individual use, you may pursue any woman in your life as your mentor.

  For those participating in Flourish with Passion City Church, we are very intentional with the matching process. We consider many factors to provide each mentee with the best mentor possible given her stage and season of life. For those seeking an in-person experience, we also consider geographic location.

• Do you provide training for mentors?

• How many fellow mentees will I have?

  For the program hosted at Passion City Church, our mentor to mentee ratio can range anywhere from 2 to 8, depending largely upon the mentor’s capacity and preference. The focus of FLOURISH is on the relationship between a mentor and mentee, and so, the program is designed to include both individual and group meetings throughout the year.
