Women's Conference 2025


  • Doubling Gap Center 1550 Doubling Gap Road Newville, PA, 17241 United States (map)

At times, life can leave us feeling fragile, like jars of clay, easily cracked by struggles, doubts, and challenges. Yet, within these fragile vessels, God has placed a treasure beyond measure — the unbreakable love of Christ. At the 2025 Women’s Conference, we will explore how this profound truth from 2 Corinthians 4 strengthens and sustains us. Join us April 4-6th as we gather to uncover the richness of God’s love, which holds us together no matter what life brings. Life may test us, but His love will never fail.

Registration is now sold out. You can register on the waitlist using the link above. A member of the Event Planning Department will reach out via text if a spot becomes available.
