HOMEGROWN: NC Women’s Preaching Festival 2025
October 2 @ 2:30 pm – October 3 @ 3:00 pm
$25.00 – $125.00
Join us for this year’s NC Women’s Preaching Festival, where our theme, “Digging Deep and Rising Up,” reflects on the wisdom of Esther (Esther 4:14-16) and the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:39).We believe hundreds of Christian clergywomen in North Carolina are faithfully and creatively engaging in ministries where they proclaim the Word of God, week after week. In an ecumenical spirit of love and collegiality, we will lift up the voices of local clergywomen (trans/cis) to encourage and inspire; share and learn; and hone our craft. Together, we will hear wonderful preaching from conference attendees and have time for group conversations on the art of proclamation in all its forms. We will pray, worship, and celebrate together.
