Our mission is to train women to effectively spread the Good News about Jesus. In 2024, we saw our first graduates and this training works! Anna’s Circle gives you the tools and support you need to boldly and confidently share the love of Jesus in your community. This is a great opportunity for you to gain new skills that will impact your ability to further the Great Commission.
12-Session Trainings: We always have new groups (online and in-person) starting, so continue to visit this page for new additions and be sure to get on our email list for updates.
12-Session Anna’s Circle Training (Online)
Our first groups of the New Year are underway. Watch our EVENTS page for the dates and times of future Anna’s Circle Training Groups coming soon! Groups meet in person or via ZOOM for 90 minutes, with coaching and action steps to put what you learn into practice. This training is for any woman wanting to become more effective in sharing the Gospel!
Anna’s Circle Group Leader Training
Anna’s Circle Group Leader Training is held twice a year. Our first training is currently underway. Watch this EVENTS page for the next group leader training to be scheduled later in the year. This training is for those who have completed our 12-session training and believe God is calling them to lead their own Anna’s Circle Groups. The training includes two 90-minute sessions with all the tools you need, and the tips we’ve learned along the way.
2026 Vision Trip to the Dominican Republic
This is our third annual Vision Trip. You’ll meet women God called to start new churches (including some from Haiti!) and visit the historical center of Santo Domingo. Experience the DR’s incredible dunes and beaches as you connect with other women who share your passion for The Great Commission. It’s a trip you won’t want to miss!
Space is limited so reserve soon. The approximate cost will be $2,200 – $2,400 for those sharing a room. Airfare is not included. More details coming soon!

Mini ZOOM Trainings
Anna’s Circle offers a range of single-subject trainings for women who want to learn to become more effective in sharing their faith, but cannot commit to the full 12-session training just yet. These offerings are delivered online via ZOOM as well as in-person workshops. All trainings are designed to provide useful tools for sharing the Gospel that can be immediately put into practice.
What does Sharing Jesus Look Like in Your Context?
Do you view yourself as being called to share the Good News about Jesus, but struggle with precisely what God is calling you to do? We will explore your God-given gifts and strengths to help you become more effective, confident, and natural in sharing your faith.
How to Listen Well to Share Jesus More Effectively
Ironically, knowing how to listen well and grow in curiosity are probably the two most important abilities to have when sharing the Gospel with others. We’ll look at how improving our listening skills, and learning to ask good questions, can open doors to sharing the Gospel with others.
How to Evaluate Someone’s Readiness to Hear the Gospel
Think about the people who you are praying for, spending time with, and desiring to share Jesus with. Are they ready to hear and receive the Good News about Jesus? We’ll teach you a new skill to help you know when someone is ready to hear and take that next step.
Proactively Creating a Plan to Share the Gospel
As God brings more people into your life who don’t know Him, preparation and planning are key to effectively sharing the Gospel. We’ll walk you through how to create a plan that gives you confidence and direction.
Prayer Walking
Prayer is the foundation for all we do and an incredibly powerful tool in the eyes of God. Prayer walks allow us to connect with God as we talk with Him in our neighborhoods. We’ll learn to pray specifically – asking God for opportunities to connect with those in our community who don’t know Jesus – and then watch as amazing things happen.
Facilitating Bible Studies for Seekers and Skeptics
Too often, we associate Bible studies as something only for fellow Christians. We will challenge that belief and demonstrate how an inductive Bible study is an extremely effective means of evangelism.
Gospel Conversation Starters
How often have you felt the Holy Spirit at work opening the door for conversations you’ve prayed for. This training will give you some good ways to start spiritual conversations that will easily transition into sharing the Gospel.
Inviting Someone to Say ‘Yes’ to Following Jesus
Perhaps we know WHAT to share, yet we get stuck on HOW to share the Good News about Jesus. Let’s discuss what it may look like to have a Spirit-led conversation that invites someone to say, “Yes!” to following Jesus.
AC Alum Monthly ZOOM Calls
