Life as a young woman in your 20's is not for the faint of heart! Especially if you desire to grow in your relationship with Jesus. Some of your friends are starting families while others are living up the single life. Some are buying houses while others are still in college. Everyone is struggling in their relationships with guys, with their parents and with friends. It can be hard to find the time and energy to focus on Jesus in the middle of all of that. We want to give you a day to discover how to experience God right now with other young women in the same situation so that you might find peace and purpose in your life.
Topics include: Obey God’s commands and watch what happens, Finding peace in the midst of chaos and Learning about God’s call on your life.

Renae states, “There is a popular camp song call I Thank God by Maverick City Music that pretty
much sums up my Faith Story. The lyrics say, ‘He picked me up, He turned me around, He placed
my feet on solid ground. I thank the Master. I thank the Savior. I thank God.’ I am always in awe
of how faithful our God is and how He is always at work in our lives.
I am excited to connect with all of you.”
After lunch, you will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of activities. We want to give you time to get to know the other women at this conference because we all need community, encouragement and support.
The cost of your registration will cover breakfast foods, lunch as well as snacks throughout the day. If you have particular diet requests (ex. gluten free) please let us know on the registration form.
