About Us

OUR FOUNDER
Melissa Phenicie, Founder/President

Balcony Women is a scripture-guided, full-circle ministry that equips people to encourage, serve, and mentor across generations. We lead young Balcony Youth in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6) so they will grow into women and men who lift up and encourage others (1 Thessalonians 5:11), who in turn care for His widows (James 1:27), with the hope that our widows will mentor the next generation (Titus 2:3). Our expanded program brings the nine core Balcony concepts to both girls and boys, preparing them to live out their God-given purpose in faith, character, and service.
ABOUT US
Our Balcony Women Board is comprised of women within our community who desire to lift up and encourage others. Their devotion to this calling is evident in how they live their everyday lives.
