On April 11-12, 2025, women from across Oklahoma will gather at Falls Creek and at Host Churches for worship, fellowship, and spiritual renewal. Centered on the story of Esther, this retreat will encourage women to embrace God’s purpose for their lives.
The retreat provides time away from daily life to focus on faith. Attendees will experience worship, Bible study, and meaningful connections. Whether attending in person at Falls Creek or through a Host Church, women will be equipped to live boldly in their faith.
Early registration is available until February 28, with fees set at $75 for adults and $50 for students aged 14-17. Standard registration runs through March 28, with prices increasing to $100 for adults and $75 for students. In-person attendees will receive a leather journal cover that holds up to five notebooks, along with an Esther Scripture Notebook.
Digital registration options include a Digital Pass, Host Church, or Gathering of Churches, providing flexibility for those unable to attend in person. For those attending digitally, benefits include unlimited access to all content, language options in Spanish and American Sign Language, virtual fellowship opportunities, and a special digital devotional to deepen their study of Scripture.
The retreat will feature a dynamic lineup of speakers. Kelly Minter, an author, Bible teacher, and podcaster, is passionate about making Scripture relevant. Kelly will be speaking in all three sessions.
