IF:SJCOC 2024 is a chance for women from multiple churches and backgrounds to gather together and celebrate Jesus.  A moment to refocus on our mission to go make disciples because we know our time on earth is short. And if Jesus were to come back in our lifetime, wouldn’t we want to have done everything in our power to reach every person on earth?

We're not just hosting an event. Together, we’re reclaiming discipleship as God’s means to change the world. Join us as we do this together.

April 13: 9:00am - 5:00pm (Light breakfast, Lunch, and Snacks included) *Doors open at 8:30am
