Join us for Release the Roar, RISES' 6th annual conference, as we gather with women from across the UK to encounter God afresh and rise into our calling with boldness.

This year, we are so blessed to welcome Rachel Hughes, from The Orchard/Gas Street Church, Birmingham, as our guest speaker. Rachel will be leading us through the powerful truths of Isaiah 61—a passage that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, inspires us to Rise, Rebuild and Restore, and we will be unpacking how YOU are a significant part of this powerful mission!

Come ready to be inspired, equipped, and unleashed to live with purpose and passion. It’s time to release the roar within you and let the world hear your voice.

TICKETS:

Early Bird | closes Saturday, 28 February | £25

Full Price | closes Wednesday, 13 May | £30
