Find Your Local Crave Gathering
There are three things women crave: Jesus, Coffee, and Conversation! Gather around the table with women of all ages and stages who desire to have conversation that matters! We are a multi-generational group of women who meet once a month at multiple locations for dessert, Bible-Teaching, and authentic community.
Crave Curriculum
The Kingdom Life Collective
What does it really look like to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”? Throughout this year, we’ll discover the answer by walking through some of the most well-known parables of Jesus.
The Kingdom Life Collective is a journey exploring the heart postures that characterize citizens of God’s Kingdom. Together we’ll study what Jesus taught about tending our hearts, seeking the lost, extending forgiveness, loving our neighbors, praying with persistence, living with generosity, walking in humility, and keeping an eternal perspective.
Each month combines biblical teaching, historical context, personal reflection, and honest table conversations designed to move us beyond simply understanding Scripture to living it. Jesus’ parables weren’t just stories; they were invitations to see the Kingdom differently and allow Him to transform the way we live.
Whether you’ve studied the Bible for years or are opening it for the first time, you’ll be equipped to understand Scripture more deeply while discovering what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life. Join us as we learn to live together as a Kingdom people, bringing heaven to earth, one transformed heart at a time.
