For the past couple of months, we've been excited to share about IGNITE, a space for the women of the Northeast to hear from God and lean into the work He's doing in our homes, our lives, and our communities.

As we continued preparing, we hit a number of obstacles that led us to pause and prayerfully reconsider the timing. After reflection, prayer, and conversation with our church leadership, we've made the difficult decision to let this event rest for now.

It's disappointing to close this door, but we have real peace about it. The vision behind IGNITE hasn't changed: we still believe God wants to ignite hearts toward His purpose, will, and kingdom. We trust Him to keep moving with power in the Northeast, even if not through this particular event.

Thank you to everyone who prayed for, dreamed about, and got excited with us about this vision. It has not been in vain.

If your life feels full
but your soul feels tired…

Consider this your invitation.

This October, we’re gathering women from across the Northeast for a day to pause, refocus and be renewed by God’s presence.

No pressure. No performance.
Just space to receive.

We’d love to gather with you 🤍

🗓️ October 23–24
📍 Latham, NY

This isn’t just about one day in October.

It’s about what happens after.

Returning to your everyday life with:
– a renewed perspective
– a deeper awareness of God’s presence
– a steadiness you didn’t have before

Because He isn’t distant.

He’s already at work.
Right in the middle of your ordinary life.

We’re honored to have Laurie DeVernoe join us at Ignite.

Laurie is a speaker, author, and mental health coach who brings together biblical truth, practical wisdom, and a deep understanding of real-life challenges.

Through warm, down-to-earth teaching, she helps women move beyond simply getting through the day and into lives marked by purpose, health, and faith that takes root in everyday moments.

As a mom of five (including triplets), Laurie knows firsthand the beauty and complexity of family life. Her work invites women to slow down, breathe deeply, and cultivate rhythms shaped by grace, honesty, and hope.

In both her writing and speaking, Laurie gently reminds us that God is present—even in the hard places.

We’re so grateful she’ll be part of this day.

What can you expect from a day at Ignite?

This gathering is designed to be both spiritually refreshing and deeply relational - a space to pause, be encouraged, and encounter God alongside other women.

Throughout the day, you’ll experience:
– Teaching from three dynamic speakers
– Worship that creates space to meet with God
– Guided reflection and prayer
– A panel of local ministry leaders
– Opportunities to connect with women and ministries serving our communities
– Lunch and time to simply be together

The day is intentionally simple and meaningful. Not rushed. Not overwhelming.

Just space to step away from the noise and be renewed.

Your days are full. Full to the brim.

You’re showing up, getting things done, carrying what needs to be carried.

But your soul still feels… tired.

Not because you’re doing something wrong,
but because life is full. And you weren’t meant to run without rest.

This fall, we’re creating space to pause.
To breathe.
To be renewed in God’s presence.

You’re not alone in this 🤍

We’re so glad to have Melissa Gauy joining us at Ignite. 🌻

Melissa lives in upstate New York with her husband and four kids and serves in full-time ministry as Campus Chaplain at Silver Bay Spiritual Life Center, as well as Director of Women’s Ministry at her local church, where she’s been deeply rooted for over 20 years.

Her path has included everything from teaching as an English professor to writing, creating, and serving in all kinds of roles along the way. But through it all, her passion has remained the same: helping women see the beauty and power of Scripture in their everyday lives.

Melissa has a gift for connecting biblical truth to the ordinary moments, the places where joy and meaning often feel hardest to find.

She loves kids, tacos, books, and Jesus. We’re so looking forward to learning from her this October.

Who comes to mind?

The friend who’s been walking through a hard season.
The sister who needs encouragement.
The woman who always shows up for others.

Ignite isn’t just something you attend—
it’s something you share.

You show up for everyone else.

You carry a lot...emotionally, spiritually, practically.

But when was the last time you had space
to be poured into?

This fall, we’re creating that space.

More soon 🤍

Let’s be honest—
we don’t need another event.

Our calendars are already full.
Our lives already carry so much.

But maybe what we do need…
is space.

Space to pause.
Space to worship.
Space to remember what actually matters.

Ignite isn’t about adding more.
It’s about making room.
