SISTERHOOD CONFERENCE
SHE WINS
Faith Finishes Strong
Join us for Sisterhood Conference 2026 - two powerful nights where women gather, faith rises, and strength is renewed. Come ready for passionate worship, bold truth, unforgettable moments, and a whole lot of fun—from the pre-party to the after-party and everything in between.
This year’s theme is She Wins: Faith Finishes Strong.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
— 2 Timothy 4:7
This is for the woman who’s been in a faith fight.
The one who’s been stretched, tested, and pushed; but didn’t quit.
Because winning isn’t about having it easy.
It’s about having a faith that refuses to give up.
There is power when women come together. Walls fall. Faith rises. Strength comes back. What felt heavy starts to break.
You’re not behind. You’re not disqualified. You’re still in the race.
And when women rise together in faith…
She Wins.
