Join us March 12-15, 2020 in Ridgecrest North Carolina for E2020,
a conference for women exploring and living out their call to ministry.
No one can predict how God will meet us, but E2020 will be no ordinary ‘ladies leadership conference’.
As women called to ministry, “seeing and being seen” is not a vain pursuit but a spiritual pilgrimage that begins by recognizing our Shepherd’s voice, who created us Imago Dei – in the image of God – and invites us into redemptive relationship.
Nestled into the side of a mountain in North Carolina, we will experience:
- Powerful keynotes from from gifted preachers.
- Practical workshops from experts in their field.
- Spirit-filled worship that represents God’s global heart.
- Spanish translation and workshops.
- Formative experiences like prayer walks, peer-groups and coaching appointments.
- Networking opportunities for best-practices and life-long friendships.
Come see and be seen in a setting where your soul will be set on fire, your calling will be affirmed, your imagination will expand, and your ministry will be set ablaze by the Spirit of El Roi – the God Who Sees.
The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ. -Ephesians 4:11-12

Check Out What A Few Previous Attendees Have To Say About This Event!
Honestly I never imagined such an annointed and powerful time. I know that I am forever changed, though I cannot fully articulate why. I also felt such authentic care for everyone there. That those farther along in ministry genuinely want to see me succeed and resource me in ways they are able, yet with the balance of self care and not being all things to everyone.
The speakers were gifted. The Holy Spirit was evident in every time of worship. It was very healing and nourishing for me.
It’s grounding for me as a woman pastor to know that at least every few years, I’m in a space where I am normal. There are other people like me.
Being around other women Clergy was invaluable. I loved talking with and hearing others’ stories. There is strength in numbers.
I felt the Spirit affirm my calling and my spirit was refreshed and renewed
My ability to make it a spiritual retreat, & spend time alone. That option is always welcome.
Personal interaction with many friends across denominational lines.
They support and encourage me so much.
Worship that we could fully participate in, since we typically are “working” during these times.Loved, loved the worship times.
Just being together with women clergy!
Singing in a room full of women is such a rare experience– often the conferences I attend are dominated by men (and male voices), so much so that even finding a comfortable key to sing in during corporate worship is difficult, but in this space it was so easy to contribute my voice– and that was a breath of fresh air.
I LOVED reconnecting with friends, spiritual feeding; the number of young women was such an encouragement and blessing!
