Event starts Friday, November 13th, 2026 @ 6pm

Optional Invitation: Join our team Sunday, November 15th, 2026, for the 10am worship service at Rock Hills Church!

You'll choose one of the following Breakout Sessions:

Get out of Survival Mode: The Lord never intended for you to be operating in fight or flight 24/7. Yet, military life leaves us living in overdrive again and again. In this breakout session, you'll learn the truths that God has established for us to live in wholeness--body, mind, and soul. You'll leave with practical application and resources that help you get out of survival mode and rest in these truths at home and beyond.

Thriving Through Deployment: Enduring a deployment is one of the most unique circumstances you will face as a military wife. However, life does not have to be ruled by fear, loneliness, and overwhelm while he's away. This breakout session will leave you encouraged and ready for the days ahead. 

Thriving Through a Hard Marriage: Every marriage will face hard days. If you are in a season that seems like there is no end in sight, you need to know nothing is too difficult for the Lord to redeem. In this workshop, you'll learn the vital perspective shifts that help you foster connection and thrive through the hard days of military marriage. 

*Bonus Leadership Workshop! Leading Through the Trenches:

In addition to one of the breakout sessions above, we'll be hosting a bonus session from 2-3pm after the last main session on Saturday, November 14th. If you want to discover your own unique gifts, develop your leadership skills, and make a Kingdom impact in the trenches of your own community, this is for you!
