Apples of Gold

If you are a wife or a wife-to-be seeking to grow in your role, then Apples of Gold is for you! Apples of Gold is not just an ordinary women’s bible study. Beyond biblical training, the group learns what it means to embody a Titus 2 woman through concrete examples and real life discussions.

This seven-week mentoring program incorporates cooking demonstrations, a full dinner enjoyed together every week, table talk, table design, etiquette instruction, bible study, fellowship, and prayer.
