2025 Alliance Women's Retreat

Oct 3, 2025 – Oct 5, 2025

Each autumn, women in the North Central District gather to hear the Word of God, fellowship with one another, and to enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities during one of the most beautiful seasons in the Midwest. It is in this environment that we open ourselves to the deeper life in Christ and position ourselves to experience transformational growth. Tell the women in your life about this retreat, today!

The LAB - 11.06.2025

Nov 6, 2025

The LAB is a place where we experiment with both new and old ideas that will lead us toward fresh discoveries and applications. The LAB is a place where we leverage the power of collaboration by acknowledging what we don’t know and embracing the challenge of learning together. The LAB is a place for people who want to grow deeper in their discipleship of Jesus and who want their lives and ministries to be marked by the development of deep disciples.
