At MCCW, Fortitude is the courage to step forward and use the gifts God has entrusted to you—for your family, your community, and the mission of the Church. It honors the strength of women who serve in uniform and those who support the uniform, recognizing that military life forms leaders in unique and powerful ways.
Fortitude is the strength to recognize each woman’s God-given gifts and potential—and to be encouraged to embrace them, trust them, and grow into their fullest expression. Whether you lead troops, lead a household, serve quietly behind the scenes, or stand at the front of ministry, your gifts matter. They were given intentionally, and they are needed.
MCCW walks alongside women who are ready to act—not perfectly, but faithfully. Through Fortitude, women are formed and supported to:
- Discern and activate their God-given gifts
- Step into leadership, service, and mentorship with confidence
- Live the Gospel boldly in uniform, in the home, and in the community
- Serve alongside other women committed to action and mission
- Become the visible presence of Christ wherever they are sent
Fortitude is not about doing more—it’s about doing what you are called to do, with courage and conviction. It is choosing trust over doubt, purpose over hesitation, and action over waiting.
You don’t need permission to lead. You’ve already been called.
Rise. Serve. Lead.
The mission needs the gifts only you can offer.
