Cornerstone Conference IPHC

Our OneDay Women’s Conference was truly an extraordinary and Spirit-filled day as women from across our churches gathered to experience a time of worship, fellowship, and reflection. From the very beginning, there was a tangible sense of unity, expectation, and the presence of God.

Beth McGhee started our day with scripture and prayer, emphasizing our theme of "Embrace Grace," while Gabrielle Pava brought a special word of encouragement to our ladies. Trisha Ainsworth led our ladies into a sacred time of reflection and communion. Melanie Wayne and her worship team from Christian Life International in Salem, Virginia led us into a powerful time of encountering God, and Christy Sawyer, our keynote speaker, delivered a message that challenged and inspired women to walk

confidently in their calling and identity in Christ. Throughout the day, meaningful fellowship allowed women to connect, build relationships, and strengthen their faith together.

Most importantly, lives were truly impacted. Souls were saved, callings were embraced, burdens were lifted, and forgiveness was experienced. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community of women come together in faith and expectancy.

We are so grateful for all who attended, served, and supported this event. A special thanks to a dedicated team of women who faithfully prayed, planned, and organized every detail. Their heart for ministry created an atmosphere where every attendee felt welcomed, valued, and encouraged.

We appreciate the ladies that represented various ministries from across our organization: Pam Rooker with Girls Ministries, Jewel Newel with Cornerstone Missions and Tammy Porter with IPHC Women’s Ministries.

We celebrate what God has done and look forward with anticipation to all He will continue to do through the women of Cornerstone.
