Leaders
BSWF has a long history here at Heritage Ranch with exceptional women speakers facilitating weekly sessions.
Carolyn Purdy is our current BSWF President. Carolyn, Rebecca Campbell, and Melanie Sanderson are our current study facilitators. And each season they may be joined by several notable guest speakers.
They clearly love the Lord, do a tremendous amount of background research and preparation, resulting in high quality/high impact multi-media lessons
