Faith Forward: A Gathering for Single Moms

Faith Forward is a free, family-friendly, weekly gathering for single mothers who want to focus on their own spiritual growth while creating a healthy, grounded faith experience their children can witness in real time.

This space was created by a single mother who needed something different for her faith than what traditional systems and churches often offer. It is faith-based, but not church-based, and is designed to be intentional, regulated, and forward-focused.

Children are welcome to be present, play, and engage in simple activities while mothers and children remain in the same space. There is no formal childcare, but the environment is set up to support shared presence and connection.

• Faith-forward, growth-oriented discussion
• Personal spiritual development (not relationship-focused)
• Modeling resilience, discernment, and hope for children
• Community built through presence, shared meals, and conversation
• Leading by example as mothers in real time
  

• Trauma-dumping or open venting sessions
• Crisis or court-related processing during group time
• Relationship or co-parenting discussion within the gathering
• Group therapy or church programming
  

*Connection and support around lived realities are encouraged outside of the gathering, while this time together remains intentional and grounded.

• A shared meal (bring a dish to contribute if you’re able)
• Guided discussion facilitated by Caroline
• Child-appropriate conversation and tone
• Simple play activities available for kids
• Drop-in style weekly gathering
  

Participation is always optional. You are welcome to observe, listen, and ease in.

Facilitated by: Caroline Fithen, single mom
Founder of SRS for Women (Faith Forward mentorship)
Caroline is a mother and former therapist with an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling who stepped away from clinical work after witnessing significant gaps in how domestic violence and child-rearing realities are addressed.
