“He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.”
We want to personally invite you to One Conference, our annual women’s gathering at The Hope Collective on Saturday, March 7, 2026.
Our theme this year is “Upon This Rock.” In a world that feels increasingly shaky and unstable, we’re surrounded by convenience, information, and connection at our fingertips – yet nothing is guaranteed. The things of this world are fleeting. They shift. They fade. They crumble. But there is one foundation that never changes – Jesus Christ. When we build our lives on the rock of Jesus, we can endure every storm, every season, every hardship, and every transition with unshakable faith.
When our lives are founded on the solid truth of who Christ is, we will not fall because our foundation is sure. When we place our hope, identity, and security in the things of this world, we may appear stable for a while, but over time, these fragile foundations give way under pressure. The winds blow. The waves crash. And what’s not built on the Rock will not last.
But we are not women of fear. We are women of faith. We are choosing to build our lives upon the Rock. We are trusting in the One who is unmovable, unchanging, and eternal. Let this be the year we return to the foundation that never fails. Let this be the year we stand firm “Upon This Rock.”
We would love you to join us for this unforgettable one day conference on March 7th!
With love,
