Welcome to Sequoia Ministries
Sequoia Ministries, Incorporated is a Women’s Empowerment Ministry at the intersection of spiritual growth, leadership development, and transformative empowerment.
Our Name
Our name is an inspiring testament to the resilience, longevity, rootedness, and majestic beauty of the Sequoia tree. In many ways, we are like trees planted by streams of water, rooted in faith and bearing fruit in every season. Just as Psalm 1:3 (NRSV) reminds us, our leaves do not wither, and we prosper in all that we do.
Our Vision
Our vision is to enrich women's lives through faith-based programs that support their comprehensive flourishing in ways that promote spiritual, emotional, vocational, and physical well-being.
SEQUOIA’S DUAL FOCUS
Sequoia Ministries is committed to fostering two distinct yet interconnected paths. The first path supports Christian women's spiritual formation and discipleship, inviting them to deepen and enrich their faith journey. The second path is dedicated to the vocational development of early-stage women in ministry, providing tailored support and resources to clergywomen embarking on and developing their professional ministry careers. Our mission is to nurture and empower women in both their spiritual lives and ministerial vocations, recognizing the unique contributions each makes to the broader faith community.
1. Spiritual Formation and Discipleship:
Deepen Your Faith Journey: Engage in retreats, workshops, and study groups designed to enhance your spiritual understanding and practice.
Community of Believers: Join a network of Christian women sharing in the pursuit of spiritual growth and communal faith.

2. Vocational Development for Early-Stage Women in Ministry:
