Meet a growing community of Christian women entrepreneurs growing thriving businesses and making an impact

You don't have to leave your faith at the door.

To the female business owner who loves Jesus:

  • Wish you had a local network of women entrepreneurs to connect and collaborate with?

  • Wish there was a group that you could go to focus on business but without forgetting your faith?

  • Wish you were a part of a growing community of women who run profitable businesses and also prioritize making a kingdom impact?

  • You were made to grow this business into something amazing that glorifies God

  • You were made to do it alongside others working toward the same goal and living out the same beliefs and values.

  • You were NOT made to kick off your faith when it comes to your business, nor were you designed to leave your entrepreneurial spirit at the door of regular life stuff.

    .

Come to a place where you don’t have to compartmentalize anymore. Instead, it’s time to forge faith + business into the double-edged sword God created you to wield. In Person! 

We believe that you were created to:

  • Build a successful, profitable business using Biblical principles.

  • Grow in community with other entrepreneurs who share your values, goals, and just

    get it.

  • Tap into the power of a supportive network of women who give encouragement, share referrals, and speak life into your business.

Come to meet Phoenix Metro business women, share about your own business and how you serve your community, and form relationships that will last years to come. 

Meet Your Directors

Alexis Sams

Sovara Health Systems

Functional Medicine Practitioner, Food Reaction Specialist™

Dr. Alexis Sams, PT is a Food Reaction Specialist and the founder of Sovara Health Systems. She is the developer of Food Reaction Syndrome™ (FRS™) — the first clinical framework to correctly classify food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities not as three separate conditions, but as severity grades on a single spectrum with identifiable systemic drivers and connections to chronic symptoms.

Through Sovara Health, Dr. Sams works directly with individuals whose food reactions and chronic symptoms have gone unresolved despite years of conventional and functional medicine care. Through Sovara Health Institute — the only institution that trains and credentials Food Reaction Specialists™ — she equips clinicians to become the provider their most complex patients have never been able to find.

Dr. Sams also serves as Director of Strategic Partnerships for the National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs (NACWE).

Monique Armstrong

Pour Decisions Patio & Kitchen

Owner

Monique Armstrong is the Co-Director of the NACWE Phoenix Metro Chapter and the owner of Pour Decisions Patio and Kitchen in Old Town Scottsdale, which she built alongside her husband Jackson. With 25 years in the hospitality industry — starting as a server and growing into an owner and operator of multiple restaurants — Monique has lived every layer of the business from the ground up.

What drives her today is a calling she feels deeply: to bring Christ back into an industry too often defined by its vices. She believes hospitality, at its core, is a Kingdom act — the ministry of welcome, nourishment, and care — and she's committed to proving that faith and the food and beverage world not only coexist, but thrive together. When she's not pouring into her community or her business, you can find Monique singing her heart out or spending quality time with her two dogs.

The National Association of

Christian Women Entrepreneurs.

Lock arms with like-minded women to grow a business that honors your God-given calling and prioritizes your faith and family. 

  • NACWE (pronounced NAK-wee) is our short-code for the National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs, a nation-wide community of women who serve Jesus, love their families, and are growing profitable businesses. 

  • Imagine your business as a living, breathing example of your God-given talents and potential, a company where your passions and divine purpose converge to create impact.

  • Imagine your business as a catalyst for change, innovation, and transformation, reflecting God’s infinite love and creativity.

This is the power of a community of women who focus on faith, family, and business. 

The women in our community get you because they are you. 

They get the relationships you’re cultivating, the faith that

brings you to your knees, and the business decisions that keep you up at night.

 

They get the concept of buying back your time and understand canceling calls to help a friend that needs you. 

That kind of support will lift you up in ways you’ve never experienced before. Believe me?

Let’s go. 

You can have a profitable

business. 

You were made to grow this business into something amazing that glorifies God. He has placed a unique call on your life that is intended to support your family while you support others.

You can have

strong, deep relationships. 

You were made to do business in relationship with others, working toward the same goal and living out the same beliefs and values. A community that values family, friends, and collaboration.

You can

have influential

faith . 

You were made for influence and impact, not to kick off your faith when it comes to your business, nor to leave your entrepreneurial spirit at the door when it comes to your faith.
