About this Event
Jesus tells us that unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But when it is surrendered, it produces much fruit (John 12:24). This spring, we gather in that truth, believing that God brings growth, strength, and new life from what is yielded to Him.
You’re invited to Spring Gathering: Rise Up, an evening designed to encourage and equip women to rise up with conviction and courage, firmly rooted in Scripture and responsive to the cultural moment we are living in.
On Tuesday, April 28, join Lenya Heitzig and Sheologie for a powerful night of worship, teaching, and connection that calls women deeper into faith and purpose. Throughout the evening, women will be deeply grounded in biblical truth so lasting fruit can grow in their lives, churches, and city. Through worship and honest, faith-filled conversation, we will explore what it means to reflect God’s character in our homes, cultivate peace, wisdom, and faith, and faithfully steward what God has entrusted to us right where we are.
Whether in your home, workplace, church, or community, Rise Up is designed to help women live with integrity, courage, and purpose, no matter their role, title, or season. You’ll be encouraged to embrace your unique calling, partner with God in building a Christ-centered life, and walk forward with renewed confidence and clarity.
The evening will feature an uplifting message from Lenya Heitzig and powerful worship, creating space to encounter God, be strengthened in truth, and rise together as women of faith.
Come as you are. Come expectant.
What God plants in surrender, He multiplies.
We can’t wait to rise with you.

Workshops
Critical Thinking and Logic: How to Avoid Being Deceived
In a culture overflowing with spiritual noise, half-truths, and "Christian-sounding" messages, discernment is essential. This workshop with Christian apologist Melissa Dougherty is designed to help women become deeply grounded in biblical truth so they can recognize deception, stand firm in their faith, and bear lasting fruit in their lives, churches, and communities. Melissa is an author and speaker known for her clear, Scripture-centered approach to today's most pressing cultural and theological issues. A live Q&A will provide space for thoughtful dialogue and real questions, making this a powerful and equipping experience for women who want to stay anchored in God’s Word in an ever-shifting world.
You'll walk away with practical tools for critical thinking, Scripture-rooted clarity, and confidence to speak truth in love without fear, confusion, or compromise. Jesus' greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart—and mind.
Rise Up in Your Home
Join Michelle Schroff for this meaningful and encouraging workshop created for women from every walk of life, reminding us that home is more than just a place: It is a sacred space of influence, stewardship, and spiritual formation. As a wife of thirty years, the proud mother of ten children, and a passionate advocate for the children of New Mexico, Michelle will share the wisdom she's gathered through faith, wisdom, and authenticity.
Rooted in Scripture, this session will explore what it means for women to reflect God's character in their homes as they cultivate peace and faith while faithfully stewarding what God has entrusted to them. Through honest conversation and biblical truth, participants will be encouraged to build a Christ-centered life while embracing their unique calling in their current season of life while graciously addressing the expectations and pressures surrounding homemaking, relationships, and responsibility, helping free women from comparison and encouraging them to walk in freedom and confidence.
You'll leave encouraged, equipped, and confident to rise up and live out your calling with grace, purpose, and faithfulness—trusting that God is at work in and through your home.
Rise Up in Your Workplace
Whether you work in the home, an office, or the marketplace, this workshop will help you see your work as meaningful and God-ordained—a place where faith can be lived out and purpose can flourish. You'll leave encouraged, equipped, and confident to rise up and lead faithfully where God has planted you.
This practical workshop is designed to help women live with integrity, courage, and purpose in their work regardless of role, title, or season. Join Heather Philpot-Pepe, a DC–based leader who has navigated high-impact, high-pressure environments across the nonprofit, political, and public affairs sectors, as she brings both professional insight and faith-centered encouragement to the conversation.
Through a moderated discussion, Heather will guide participants through common lies women often believe about work, success, and influence, while pointing to biblical truths that anchor identity and worth beyond performance. Drawing from her experience working in spaces where conviction, clarity, and discernment matter deeply, she will share practical wisdom to help women recognize cultural pressures surrounding ambition, productivity, and identity and respond with confidence grounded in faith.
Rise Up in Your City
Have you ever asked yourself, "What can I actually do to help? How can I make a difference in my community?" Join Tracy Rodden, Executive Director of Feed NM Kids, as she shares her own experience as a food-insecure child and explore how you can put your faith into action in real time. 'Rise Up in Your City" is more than a workshop. It is an invitation to step into God's heart for the children in your own community.
Participants will engage in a hands-on service experience by packing snack bags during the workshop itself, and leave encouraged and equipped with practical next steps, simple ways to involve your family, and clear opportunities to make a tangible difference right where you live.
Come ready to rise up and be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing nourishment, dignity, and hope to children across our city and surrounding communities.
