STEADFAST WOMEN IN MINISTRY, INC

Steadfast Women in Ministry, Inc. (S.W.I.M.) is an interdenominational Christian organization focused on the intersection of faith and wellness. We provide faith-affirming mental health resources to the interfaith community, through conferences, retreats, support groups, Bible studies, prayer gatherings, mental health trainings, referrals and programs.

Our mission includes building compassionate support networks, removing financial barriers to therapy for underrepresented populations, especially women and equipping individuals of faith with the resources they need to thrive.

We’d love for you to join us—as a participant, supporter, or collaborator as we grow a Christ-centered community of healing, hope, and wellness.

The Founder & CEO

Dr. Kim Murray Cruse, MDiv.,

I founded Steadfast Women in Ministry, Inc (S.W.I.M.) to share the intersection of theology & mental health with people of faith and the general public regardless of denominational lines. It is my firm belief that it takes God & Therapy to help sustain people's lives. I hope that S.W.I.M. Inc. will be a tool to help people of faith maintain their healing nationwide.
