Come Away. Be Renewed. Abide in Him.
Our second annual Women’s Summit is an opportunity for all women ages 18 and older who are out of high school to step away from the busyness of everyday life, encounter the Lord in a new way, and grow together in faith and fellowship. Like the disciples who climbed Mount Tabor and experienced the Transfiguration of the Lord, we are invited to climb the heights with our community, be renewed in His presence, and return to daily life strengthened in faith.
Whether you are deeply rooted in your faith, looking for community, or simply seeking time to slow down and reconnect with God, you are welcome. Come away, be renewed, and discover what it means to abide in Him.

Can I Attend Friday Night Only?
Yes. If you are unable to attend the full Summit but plan to participate in the six-week small group experience, you are welcome to attend Friday evening only.
What if I can’t participate in a small group?
If you’re unable to participate in a women’s small group, there are still opportunities to connect, grow in faith, and build community. Women gather at the St. Francis Campus on the third Wednesday of each month from 7–8:30 p.m. for Wednesdays at the Well, an evening of fellowship, light refreshments, prayer with Scripture, and sharing faith in small groups. Some evenings also include prayer with art or guest speakers. This is a great way to meet other women in our community, especially if you’re new or unable to commit to a regularly scheduled event.

Continue the Journey!
The Summit doesn't have to end on October 17th.
One of the goals of the Women’s Summit is to launch small groups throughout our Family of Parishes that can continue to provide support, fellowship, prayer, and formation in the weeks and months that follow.
Small groups are a place where we can be seen, known, loved, and formed, growing together in faith and fellowship as Jesus did with His Apostles.
After the Summit, your small group will meet for six additional gatherings for ongoing fellowship, prayer, and formation.

Following the Summit, small groups will continue their journey through an adapted version of Walking with Purpose’s Ordering Your Priorities. The study helps us continue exploring the theme of the Summit and consider how we can order our lives around what matters most.
Participants will receive the Ordering Your Priorities book/journal as part of their registration. (Summit participants: Your book will be provided with registration). Six-week study participants who cannot attend the Summit: Your book will be available for pickup at the parish offices.
The study also includes a podcast option for those who would like an additional way to engage with the content.
