2018-2019 Partnerships and Grants

This year’s Butterfly Brunch was another beautiful example of God’s hands at work in the everyday lives of the women of WLC. We gathered together for a morning of inspiration, listened to Kimberly Joy Krueger speak to us about owning and telling our own extraordinary stories, and were encouraged to be a source of strength and wisdom to others.

You are doing exactly that every time you support the Christian Women’s Leadership Circle. Your generous gifts from the Butterfly Brunch have a tremendous impact on the lives of WLC women and the people they serve. Our hope is that in return, you leave with a renewed sense of purpose, passion, and community.

From the gifts and proceeds of the 2019 Butterfly Brunch, the CWLC was able to award over $10,000 to WLC women in the form of grants and leadership initiative funding. We were also able to award two $1,000 scholarships to junior WLC women.
