Adelfi Women’s Conference

Adelfi is Greek for “Sister” to reflect that all women in Christ are sisters, and this one-day conference is designed to connect women to one another and God through speakers, prayer, and worship. Our 2025 conference focused on how God sees us, knows us, and cares for us as women. We spent time exploring how we as women encounter Jesus in our everyday lives, and how we tell our stories of encountering Jesus with others.

Remember to invite a friend, family member, or anyone else that you’d like to attend the conference with!
