Ladies Conference

2026 Ladies Conference

IDENTITY DEFINED

April 17–18, 2026

But you are a chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
a people for God’s own possession…”

Join Us This April

The Southside Ladies Conference is a time for women of all ages and stages to gather together for a weekend of biblical teaching, authentic worship, and Christ-centered fellowship.

This year’s theme, Identity Defined, is rooted in 1 Peter 2:9—a call to embrace the truth of who we are in Christ. In a world filled with confusion, comparison, and shifting values, our goal is to anchor our hearts in what God says is true about us.

“Embracing the truth of who we are in Christ and how He sees us requires faith. Until we see as He does, we will never truly understand our God-given value and purpose.”

Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that you are seen, known, and called by God for His glory.

2024

Waging War

Our 2023 Ladies Conference was focused on Romans 11:36 as we learned how we can live from Him, through Him, and to Him. Focus on 2 Corinthians 10:3-5:
Identifying strongholds and learning to use our divinely appointed weapons  to do real battle in our minds.

Our 2024 Ladies Conference was focused on Waging War. Our theme is IDENTITY DEFINED: Embracing the Truth of who we are in Christ and how He sees us, requires faith.
Until we see as He does, we will never truly understand our God-given value and purpose.
