Perch For Women Ministries
Renewed Hope | Fresh Perspective
We equip women in all seasons and situations of life by providing a trauma-safe environment, spiritual guidance, and opportunities for greater health and wholeness.
Healing Care - Fall 2026
Healing Care is a small group environment that is meant to help participants dive deeper into their story and take an honest look at how our past is still having an impact on our present lives. This is meant to be a space for openness and healing so we intentionally keep Healing Care groups small in order to keep it comfortable and safe while allowing everyone to participate conversationally.
Please note that working through the Healing Care experience requires you to have the time and space to process what you are learning through reading and homework assignments during the week. Participants are asked to commit themselves to attend the group faithfully and do the required homework. Once your application form has been completed, Brenda will be in touch to book an interview as part of the application process. This helps us determine if this is the right season for you or if another program is better suited.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Brenda at brendadrost@gmail.com

Gentle & Lowly | Study Path
Thursdays@10am | 10 weeks | Begins Sept 17 to Nov 19 | $24 to Register
Gentle and Lowly" by Dane Ortlund. We know that God loves us, but we can sometimes feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated. This study draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. (registration includes Book)

Perch Donations
We are so thankful for the continued generosity that allows our team to serve women in seasons or situations of vulnerability. Born from Hannah House we recognized the need for after pregnancy care where women faced the journey alone combatting mental health struggles, isolation, grief, apathy and more.
We nurture women to know they are loved and valued unconditionally, each having a special purpose on this earth and belong in community. With your help, we can continue to provide programming for little to no cost. You may donate digitally on this page, via e-transfer (info@perchforwomen.co) or by sending us a cheque in the mail.
Perch For Women is funded primarily by private donations and is not affiliated with any other agency.
