Meet Pastor Cecilia Liversidge

At College View Church, we are grateful to have a vibrant and robust Women’s Ministry that welcomes women of all ages and stages of life. Our goal is to create spaces where women can connect with one another, grow spiritually, and find meaningful community.

One of our cornerstone ministries is Women of Spirit—a gathering for women of all ages whose mission is to “have a party with a purpose.” We meet four times a year (October, December, February, and April) on Monday evenings to enjoy dinner, fellowship, and inspiring messages together. This free event includes childcare, making it easy for moms and caregivers to attend.

Another treasured part of our ministry is Mom’s Café, designed specifically for mothers of young children. Meeting on the 1st and 3rd Thursday mornings from 9:30–11:30 (September through April), Mom’s Café offers a warm breakfast, time in the Word, meaningful discussion, crafts, and the joy of community. Childcare is provided nearby, so moms can engage fully while their children are lovingly cared for.

In addition to these structured gatherings, we also host monthly informal social events at local venues—perfect opportunities to organically connect with other women and build lasting friendships.

For those who love digging into Scripture, we offer a Women’s Bible Study on Wednesdays during lunchtime, providing a midweek moment of reflection, growth, and encouragement.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, there’s a place for you here.

Come as you are. Grow with us. Let’s walk this journey together.

Join us for Bloom, a new small group designed to nurture your physical, emotional, and spiritual growth in a safe & compassionate space. Through heartfelt conversations, personalized care, and the strength of community, Bloom empowers women to heal, connect, and thrive, becoming the best version of themselves.

Women ages 20+ can join us every Wednesday from 7-8pm in the Heartland Hall in 2025. Let's walk this journey together through growth, bloom, and mutual support!

A mother's ministry is a sacred calling that embodies love, compassion, and nurturing. We embrace and uplift the mothers in our communities, acknowledging the invaluable role they play in shaping hearts, minds, & souls. Together, we celebrate the beauty of motherhood by prioritizing connection in these ways:

• Bi-weekly breakfast gatherings
• Free childcare during meeting
• Encouragement & support
• Options for further social outings and field trips
• Informal classes for Kindergarten-4th grade aged children
• Parenting classes

Meeting dates are 1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month, 9:30-11:30am.
