Center Groups
A Christ-Centered Support & Mentorship Group for Women in Ministry
There are seasons in ministry that look strong on the outside, while internally, the weight feels overwhelming. Ministry leaders, pastors’ wives, missionaries, and women serving others often carry burdens, navigating discouragement, exhaustion, conflict, loneliness, expectations, grief, or simply the ache of trying to stay spiritually grounded while constantly pouring out for others.
Center Groups exists to create space for women in ministry to slow down, process honestly, and re-center their lives on Jesus Christ.
Led by Andrea Griffith, Center Groups are more than a study or support gathering. It is a guided, Christ-centered environment where women are equipped with practical tools, Biblical encouragement, compassionate listening, and meaningful fellowship. The goal is not behavior management or quick fixes. The goal is deeper dependence on Jesus, Gospel resilience, emotional and spiritual health, and learning how to navigate life and ministry with truth, grace, and wisdom.
Women who participate in Center Group consistently describe it as a safe place to process life honestly without fear of judgment. Through intentional conversations, table consults, heart-probing questions, practical tools, and Spirit-led encouragement, participants learn how to move from feeling stuck, isolated, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted toward renewed clarity, healing, and spiritual strength.
Andrea has a unique gift for walking alongside women with curiosity, compassion, and wisdom. Rather than offering shallow answers, she helps women slow down enough to hear the voice of God, examine what is happening beneath the surface, and apply Biblical truth in practical, life-giving ways.
Center Group serves women across many ministry contexts including:

What women have to say about Center Groups with Andrea.
Hilary, ministry leader
Center Group is a breath of fresh air in an often tumultuous life. The enemy would want nothing more than for the storms we face to overtake us. This group provides raw, tangible tools as well as support when facing the everyday hills and valleys of life.
Tanya, pastor’s wife
God used Andrea to mentor me through a difficult season of ministry and life. She didn’t come with answers, but instead continually pointed me to the Savior and walked compassionately beside me. Heart-probing questions and active listening are her superpowers. With the heart of a teacher, she equipped me with tools and resources that I can take with me, but ultimately, her love and devotion to Jesus is what is most contagious.
Shannon, missionary to Uganda
Center Group is a safe place to navigate the challenges and struggles that often accompany life in ministry. You are taught tools each week to help you process your concerns and draw closer to the Lord. You will encounter encouragement that is Biblically based, practical, curious, and kind with the group of women surrounding you. It is time well spent.
