We believe that discipleship is more caught than taught. With this in mind we have created a process where we model discipleship within a high challenge, high grace environment. This model is highly reproducible over many generations, and creates a clear path for multiplication of new groups.

Make Disciples
Resourcing

In most cases, the new leader is mentored by their previous group leader.

Acts 4:13 says “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, Ordinary Men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus”.
When reading the Word of God we quickly realize that God has called Ordinary Men and Women throughout history to advance the Kingdom. God is still doing just this today, and we exist to lead ordinary women to the realization that God wants to use them in extraordinary ways today.
The name Ordinary Women is not an excuse or a profession of mediocrity. Instead it is a war cry—a realization of the fact that God uses us despite our past, our failures, and our shortcomings. It is a profession of our faith in God’s willingness and desire to use our lives to advance His Kingdom. It is putting our excuses aside with a focus on His power in and through our lives, versus a focus on our own abilities.
We are individual groups of Ordinary Women. Together we form a much larger group that is focused on allowing the Lord to work in our lives to advance His Kingdom and Church through discipleship.
Ordinary Women is a Divinely-inspired movement that will sweep across this nation and change society through intentional discipleship that produces exponential growth.
Being a Divinely-inspired movement is at the heart of OW. First and foremost we follow the vision that God has put on our hearts. Fighting against the urge to do things the way we want; instead following the vision he has placed on our hearts. We believe we will see a movement that will sweep across this nation and beyond and this will only happen with Divine intervention.
This vision is accomplished by creating an organization that is not about the leadership of a single person, but rather one that relies on the leadership of many. OW has created a system in which the speed and level of growth is contingent upon ordinary women putting the Great Commission into action. We only grow through the process of ordinary women leading other ordinary women, which is the same model Jesus gave us.
We are a large organization made up of many small groups. We support and facilitate small groups while connecting each group to a larger vision.
