conference theme
Welcome to the Better Together conference for 2024. The theme is Captivated - based on 1 John 4:16
"We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him."
When we are captivated by God's love, the way we love, serve, live, and react to life changes drastically. This conference is a chance for you to step away from the chaos of life and be poured into by other amazing women who are passionate about Jesus and the love He has for you. We pray that you walk away captivated by God and all that He is.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS
SACRED SCROLLING
Speaker: Cynthia Ruchti
How will scrolling through God's Word captivate our hearts and accelerate our spiritual growth? Unlike social media scrolling, looking for something attention-grabbing in the Bible is a sure-fire way to build our faith rather than destroy our soul. What tools do we need for Sacred Scrolling?
TAKE NOTE...IT MATTERS
Speaker: Amanda Franseen
Do you ever feel like you can't remember anything? Well, I am here by God's grace to teach you how writing makes tangible pieces you can hang onto, pass onto future generations and show God's goodness in the story He is writing. Before we forget, we will have wonderful evidence we can hold to as we grow and are captivated as we age in God's grace.
HOW PRECIOUS ARE YOUR THOUGHTS
Speaker: Liberty Bray
We have access to the countless thoughts that our Father has for us through His Spirit. There are many ways that we can engage with the Spirit of God, let's explore those together. Each person will leave with a small piece of art to remind them of what their Father thinks of them.
