Our Story
It all began one day in August 2021, when two women met for a coffee.
Out of that chat a seed was planted - a desire to gather women together to unite them, encourage them, and combat the isolation and loneliness caused by the pandemic. Out of that seed came Women of the Peace, a non-profit organization created to provide annual gatherings for Peace-area women of all backgrounds to experience Jesus in a life changing way.
​
The seed took root in the fall of 2022 with the “Weary No More” conference. Almost 300 women came together in worship and unity to hear encouraging and life-changing stories from women who overcame fear, anxiety, anger, and loneliness through their walk with Jesus. Future gatherings will continue to point women to Jesus, the Saviour of the world, who brings encouragement, peace, and growth in their walk with Him. This aligns with 1 Thessalonians 5:11 which says, “Encourage one another and build one another up.”
