Great question. One of the key principles of Courageous Girls is to help you, as a mom, grow in your giftings and confidence, as well as learn to discern what God is doing in your life and the life of your daughter. We have chosen not to be an organization that plugs moms and daughters into CG groups because we want you to go deeper into community with the moms and daughters who God has already laid on your heart and live in your community. 

Additional reasons we do not plug moms and daughters into groups are that groups have a significantly better chance of staying together for the long-haul if they already have a common thread (school or church community, hobby, neighborhood, etc.) that naturally brings them together. And, the administrative cost of doing so is not sustainable for the growth and well-being of CG. 

We are compassionate to the possible feelings of frustration or fear that may have come with our answer, but we do offer some suggestions. First, check out ideas on how to start your group. To start the process of building your CG community, consider asking a few moms to join you in a book study of Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace to get a feel for commitment and interest level as you prayerfully consider starting a CG group. And, consider taking the “Helping Moms Raise Confident Daughters” e-course (see bleow) and ask God to provide wisdom into who you could start a CG group with.  

Watch and see how God grows your faith through this process. You’ll have to trust our “why” behind this answer. We have given you everything you need to start a group in your own community, unique to your culture and the needs of you and your daughter. We are praying for you!
