We were dead. Dead in every way.
But then God made us alive and new.
He alone can regenerate human hearts and bodies.
And life in HIM is charged with everlasting purpose for His glory.
Do we really believe that? And what does God-given life look like for us?
Come together at GROW 2024 and behold the powerful God who breathes life into dry bones.
Talks on Ezekiel 36-37 and Romans 12

GROW is a one-day Bible-teaching conference. We will spend the day singing, talking, praying, sharing, eating, and of course, hearing God’s Word together.
GROW is for all women: from the not-yet believer to the new believer to the long-time believer; from teens to centenarians; from all backgrounds and from all churches around Queensland and northern NSW.
We love joining with hundreds of women at GROW as we worship God together through song. We’ll have a new playlist soon, but in the meantime, press play on our GROW 2023 playlist:

SOME TIPS:
1/ We recommend joining with a friend to read through the text and pray together.
2/ In the lead up to GROW, read through the text again and listen to the audio recording. You may find it helpful to read it in different versions (ESV, CSB, NIV, NKJV).
3/ Jot down any notes, thoughts, or questions you may have for future discussion and reflection.
WE SURE DO!
We love when churches partner with us to promote GROW via their channels.
1/ Please send the date to put in their church calendar. This will help their planning for the year! [Saturday 3 August 2024]
2/ Access our GROW 2024 E-Media Kit (coming soon!), which includes promotional copy along with the following helpful resources:
* Social Media Tiles
* Facebook Banner
* Service Slide
* A3 Poster
* A5 Flyer
If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
We encourage you to share posts and invite your friends to follow GROW too.
YES, WE VALUE GATHERING IN-PERSON:
1/ It is a rich blessing to share Jesus face-to-face as we long for the day when we will see Him face-to-face.
2/ Seeing each other is so much better than relating via a screen. Gathering in person also lessens the distractions that inevitably come with online formats.
3/ GROW has always partnered closely with local churches as we’ve shared a vision for seeing women grow up into Christ. Bringing women together is part of this.
