Women’s Thrive Conference
Friday, October 10 - Sunday, October 12, Rochester, MN
Ladies, you won't want to miss our fall retreat to the Thrive Women's Conference on October 10-12, 2025, in Rochester, MN! We live with so much distraction and noise, causing us to experience confusion, or even overwhelming uncertainty. As we spend time in God's Word, we find our footing and His perfect peace. Make plans now to hear life changing messages from speakers Angie Goetz, Lisa Whittle, and Jennie Allen; and worship with Ben Snyder and Steph MacDonald!
The registration price includes your admission and a shared Airbnb with others in our group. This year we’re changing it up and staying for an extra night for some extra girl’s time! We’ll grab dinner after the conference and then spend some time together debriefing what God did in us at the conference. Then on Sunday morning, we’ll head to a local church for service, grab lunch, then head back home Sunday afternoon! Don’t miss out what the Lord wants to do in you this October!
Fall Puzzle Competition
Friday, October 24, @ 6:00pm
Who doesn’t love a good puzzle and a taco bar? Grab three of your best puzzlers and join us for a friendly competition of who can put together a 500-piece puzzle the fastest. Your registration includes a puzzle to use and take home (1 per team), a taco bar dinner for each teammate, prizes for the winners, and other door prizes for participants!
(Note that the $39 registration fee covers the whole team, up to four participants per team.)
FREE Men’s Conference
November 22, Sartell, MN
