IT’S NOT JUST WHAT YOU DO, IT’S WHO YOU’RE BECOMING.
Friday, January 24th, 2025
1:00 – 6:00pm
Identifying how God wants to use us can be a process. It’s easy to forget in a performance-driven culture that we have value beyond what we can do. Who we’re becoming is what determines our impact, and that’s what really matters.
At this year’s conference, we’ll explore our gifts, our true value, and how to look forward to the future with hope and expectation. Together, we’ll be inspired to define, discover, chase down, and live out our God-given purpose.
During this one-day conference for high school junior and senior girls, you’ll experience guest speakers from diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives. We’ll lead you through a hands-on Creative Workshop to challenge your creativity, and you’ll meet like-minded friends. We hope you’ll join us!
