About us

When God gives the inspiration for a ministry, He usually brings it to fruition—in His timing. Such is the case with 9 to 5 for Christ. It was the mid-1990's when founder Laura McGrew first recognized the need for a ministry that met the needs of Christian women in the workplace. It took until March 2003 before the timing, church support and God's hand of blessing all came together when the first group of women met at Northside Christian Church. Since then, women from all over the valley meet on the 2nd Monday of every month to network, share prayer requests, and listen to amazing women share their testimony of how they live their faith every day. We are hosted by a different church every three months, so there is bound to be a meeting near you. If you live outside the Fresno area, let's chat about starting a chapter in your area!

Why should women attend 9-5 for Christ? In our complex roles as women, if we do not pay attention to filling our hearts and minds with truth we drain ourselves of the love and compassion required to sustain who we need to be in our homes and work settings. 9 to 5 for Christ creates an environment where our souls get renewed by real women from real life right here in the valley. For me personally, with an overly tight schedule, I know the night is always well organized with a great catered meal, a timely speaker, a highlight of local businesses and a dash of fun with door prizes and networking. I always drive home aware of how important the relationships have become in this group and what a privilege it is to pray for other women who are out there sharing God's love in a challenging world.
