Equip & Empower Women to be who they are created to be inside & out
#IamCreatedWoman 2017 Vision
"As we say 'Yes' God reveals, and we become" -Heather Frierson
Hi!
My name is Heather Frierson. I’m a wife, mother, sister, daughter and a friend. I’m just a girl like you who enjoys wakeboarding, coffee with a book, a really good laugh, singing and dancing with my girls, and wearing a great pair of jeans and t-shirt.
I’m simple yet I know there’s more for me to do. It’s why Created Woman exists. Because we both were meant for more. Over the past five years, we’ve seen generations come together of all different backgrounds, demographics, and stories for one reason: to discover who they were created to be. It’s why we exist. To empower a generation of women to dream again, discover their purpose, run their race well and show up as Ambassadors of Christ. Our desire is to see every woman we come in contact with to know they were born on purpose and for a purpose that’s greater than themselves. Many people have asked how does fashion and faith go together. It’s simple really, fashion is just how we reach HER. It’s how we become a part of the community and get to know her right where she is. It’s how we show HER she is worth it. She is enough! When women understand who they are, what they were created for, they begin to walk out their purpose with passion. And when they do, your church is changed. Your community. Your business. Your family. Think about it, what would your world look like if every woman you knew actually walked out their purpose?

Find your "Go"
Our goal is not just to have a great event or fill seats, but to equip and empower a generation of women to be who they are created to be helping them build and leave a legacy for Christ for generations to come. To find their “Go” and to go do it!
We believe in being a bridge between the church and community by training women with practical tools and releasing them as whole, healthy women of faith who are ready to serve, lead and impact the Kingdom through their unique gifts and talents. In the following pages, you’ll see our approach is simple and easy, yet designed to create real conversations and authentic relationships to help HER build her dream and launch a legacy. We hope that through these pages you see HER, too, and begin to understand how your story is woven into HERS creating a beautiful masterpiece. We hope to partner with you and together impact the Kindgdom pointing everyone to the ultimate creator, Jesus Christ.

What We Believe
Faith
1. We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. (2 Tim 3:16) 2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (John 14:11, 16; 15:26) 3. We believe in the deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1, 14; Luke 1:26-31; 2Cor 5:21; John 14:10-11; Rom 3:25, 26; Luke 24:6, 7; Eph 1:20, 21; Act 1:10,11) 4. We believe that people are sinful and lost, saved by faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ, and regenerated by the Holy Spirit. (Titus 3:5, 6; Eph 2:8,9) 5. We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. (Gal 5: 16, 25) 6. We believe in the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life eternal. (Eph 1:7; John 11:25; 1 John 5:11,12) 7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (1Cor 12: 27; Eph 4:1-6) 8. We believe that women are created in the image of God, uniquely gifted and empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve and build up the body of Christ. (Gen1:27; 1Cor 12:7; 1Pet 4:10) 9. We believe in and are committed to the home and family as set forth in Holy Scripture. We believe God has ordained and created marriage to exist between one man and one woman, with absolute marital fidelity. (Genesis 1:27-28, Genesis 2:18-24, Matthew 19:4-9, Mark 10:5-9, Ephesians 5:31-33)
What We Believe
Faith
10. We believe that God created mankind in His image: male (man) and female (woman), sexually different but with equal personal dignity.

(Genesis 1:26-28, Romans 1:26-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11) 11. We believe in the sanctity of life and that God has ordained all the days of the person’s life before they were born, from the moment of fertilization until natural death. (Psalm 139: 13, 14, 16)

Danica The Church "I would always hear, 'You have a God-given purpose in life,' but that was hard for me to believe. I always just labeled myself as a 'single mom.' Nothing more. Then God used Created Woman to nudge me, remind me, of the gift I have, that I was doing nothing with. Now that I am walking in my purpose, others are being blessed!" - Singer/Worship leader at her local church
