Upcoming Events
Courageous Sisterhood Conference
We carry a sacred calling. We are called to walk this earth as women set apart—called to reflect a holy God and to do His work in our homes, our churches, our communities, and our nations.
This September, we gather to remember who our God is, to stand again on holy ground, and to be reminded that we are sent. Join the women of Encounter as we head to Columbus for this powerful two-day conference.
