FAQ
General Information
-
The MORE Women’s Conference is a weekend event inspired by Ephesians 3:20, designed to uplift and empower women in their faith journey. It seeks not only to encourage but also to equip women with practical, everyday strategies to find joy in difficult seasons, break through limitations, and embrace the abundant life Christ offers, regardless of their circumstances.
-
Rooted in Isaiah 43:18–19, this year’s theme, “A New Thing”, calls women to let go of the past, move forward in faith, and boldly embrace the new work God is doing in their lives—trusting that He desires to do immeasurably MORE through tender hearts fully surrendered to Him. With powerful teaching, moving worship, and plenty of laughter, women will be inspired and encouraged to move forward in faith and embrace what God is doing next.
