OUR VISION

Sue WOW 1a

 

 


"Those who pursue mission work do so because they want to help. I encourage people to remember that the effects of mission work take time and perseverance. There is no quick fix and only God is able to accomplish change in lives and culture. We remind ourselves to do the work out of obedience to God, not for what we want to accomplish." 

Sue Nelson

Axia Women’s mission can’t happen without community. Community is where we find the tools and relationships to support each other in working out our salvation in the service of Christ. The beautiful truth captured in the graphic above speaks as two sides of the same coin. Each of us is made in the image of God. The more each of us recognizes this, the more we recognize the icon of Christ in each other–and can help one another grow towards fullness in Him.

Axia exists to highlight the value and gifts of each Orthodox woman, to enrich the body of our whole Church everywhere. This is why we want to build circles of belonging - spaces where women can learn, connect, gain new skills and inspiration, and find healing together. We want to be a resource for you, wherever you are on your journey.

Our end-of-year fundraiser will make it possible to continue this work in the coming years! You’ll be hearing more from us in the coming days and weeks about the exciting things we did this year, what’s coming next year, and why you might want to support our work and join us in creating a beautiful and compassionate world together. Imagine a space where women from our many different backgrounds can join together in our love of Christ and His Church. Let’s create a world where we can become the most life-giving versions of ourselves and grow together towards wholeness, healing and joy.

Every donation of $20 or more will receive two stickers (featured above) - one for you and one to share.

Katelin Williams Hospitality Story

Our first hospitality story comes from Katelin Williams: 

"I am a thirty-year-old recent Orthodox convert who lives in Kentucky. I married my wonderful husband last October in 2024, and as of June this year, I am a new mother to my vibrant and sassy son. To say there have been trials is an understatement, but in those trials, we have found the most supportive people.
