Come join the Ladies of Liberty for our Annual Women’s Conference Brunch. Liberty Christian Church Women’s Annual Conference Brunch A Prepared Bride: The Uncovering of the Veil Join the women of Liberty Christian Church for an unforgettable afternoon of worship, fellowship, inspiration, and spiritual renewal at our Annual Women’s Conference Brunch. This year’s theme, “A Prepared Bride: The Uncovering of the Veil,” is an invitation for women to prepare their hearts for a deeper relationship with Christ. Just as a bride prepares herself for her wedding day, we are called to examine our hearts, remove what has hindered us, and allow God to reveal, restore, and prepare us for all He has called us to be. We are honored to welcome Dr. Tara Phelps-Jones as our guest speaker. Come ready to receive an encouraging and empowering Word designed to challenge us to look beyond the veil and allow God to uncover the areas of our hearts that need His truth, healing, and transformation. Our time together will also include powerful ministry through song by the anointed psalmist Nia Kirkwood, along with great food, meaningful fellowship, worship, laughter, and sisterhood. Event Details Saturday, November 14, 2026 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM Come dressed beautifully, bring your sisters, daughters, mothers, friends, and church family, and prepare for an afternoon created especially for women who desire to grow deeper in their faith and walk more intentionally with God. Special Registration Gift As an added blessing, the first 50 women to register will receive a FREE 30-Day Devotional Journal A Prepared Bride: The Uncovering of the Veil in their registration bag! This devotional has been created to help you continue the journey beyond the conference—spending intentional time with God as He uncovers, prepares, heals, and transforms the heart. Quantities are limited, so early registration is encouraged. Come expecting more than a brunch. Come expecting encounter. Come expecting transformation. Come ready for the uncovering of the veil. We can’t wait to fellowship with you!
