The Esther Circle Mission:

To advocate for the needs of our community, the Gospel Training & Outreach Center, and each other. To endeavor to find or facilitate solutions.

Why the “Esther” Circle?

Esther embodies something timeless:

  • Courage when it counted most — she risked everything to save others

  • Wisdom in choosing her moment — she didn’t rush; she waited for the right time to speak

  • Strength wrapped in humility — a reminder that quiet bravery changes the world

  • A heart for her people — she didn’t turn away when things were difficult; she stepped closer

These are the things we strive to embody within our Esther Circle.

  • "Thank you for your donation of Christmas gifts to the students of Fairborn City Schools. With your support, we were able to provide gifts for 39 students this year. Your donations to Hawks Pantry is also much appreciated. We could not do it without your support."

    —Bristen Wells, Homeless Education Liaison

  • "Thank you so much for the meal train for my dad. After he was released from the hospital, I made one phone call, and the next thing I know, we had meals set up for five days. It took so much stress off of me taking care of them. When you're the primary caregiver for your elderly parents, every little gift of help is amazing!"
