Who We Are
Our Beliefs
Our mission at Cheerful Hearts Ministry is to create the environments to encounter Christ; becoming deeply rooted in Truth affecting change in this culture and community.
We love to meet women right where they are and love them with the Love of God, lifting them higher and higher to experience the depths of His love in parts of their lives they never dreamed possible. Often women will declare after spending time at Cheerful Hearts that she “has found her tribe.” It is within the context of this authentic loving community, we see growth and freedom.
So many Christian women long to:
- have a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus, but don’t know how
- forgive, truly from the heart, but don’t know where to start
- have a safe place to tell their story
- genuinely be seen and heard by other women
- find a place of rest and restoration
At Cheerful Hearts she may very well find these answers through a wide variety of ways. We gather regularly to study and to pray together. We host special events also that allow for delving deep into issues of the heart in a safe and encouraging environment.
We are not licensed counselors or therapist and do not offer counsel or therapy. The majority of our ministry is prayer and those prayers are based on God’s word. Leading women in how to apply Truths found in God’s Word, is most often the pathway to seeing women soar.
Our foundational scripture is Isaiah 61.1: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”
Our Core Values:
Cheerful Hearts is a safe, transforming community where the women: love Jesus, are led by the Holy Spirit, walk by faith, treat others with dignity and compassion, while offering God and one another a teachable heart. All of this is grounded in the Word: worship, prayer and praise.
Our Philosophy:
We believe the Bible is true and is sufficient for addressing life’s problems and that reliance on the Holy Spirit is essential for long term healing. We use God’s word as our primary tool in bringing concerns to resolution relying on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is The Teacher, The Counselor, The Comforter and leads us into all Truth. Jesus said that the truth will make us free.
Some of our activities or events have fees associate with them. Our heart is to minister to all women the Lord brings us, regardless of the ability to pay. Scholarships may be requested for any ministry offering with a fee; monthly supporters and scholarship partners make this possible. We hope that as you find identity, purpose, and life in Christ at CHM, you will desire to financially support us.
Our Financial Philosophy:
We joyfully offer ministry to women who enter our doors as a gift, asking only for a small materials fee, following Jesus’s example of ministering without monetary expectations. Just as He had supporters who helped sustain His ministry, we rely on the kindness and generosity of our community to foster the meaningful transformations that occur in the lives of those we serve. We are grateful for our dedicated volunteers whose selfless contributions enable us to reach more women than we could without them.
After receiving ministry, we encourage women to prayerfully consider investing in the lasting impact of Cheerful Hearts by becoming a monthly, quarterly, or annual donor, by making a one-time contribution, or by volunteering.
Please know we are deeply grateful for your generosity. We are a 501C3 nonprofit ministry and all donations are tax deductible.
Cheerful Hearts is a Christian ministry that is composed of women who all go to different churches, but all believe the Apostles Creed.
Apostles Creed
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
