About Us

Despise Not Small Beginnings was birthed 11 years ago around a dining room table at the request of a small group of women seeking God’s Word. What began as a humble gathering has grown into a faithful community where the power of patience and consistency is celebrated.

Since October 2024, the group has been walking through the series Living a Simple Life, beginning with the transformative topic Decluttering Your Mind—learning to quiet distractions and embrace God’s peace. Each session offers encouragement, spiritual growth, and practical application for everyday living.
