As a result of the ban on public gatherings, and in an effort to lessen the spread of the Coronavirus across our state and the country, Purpose: A Gathering for Girls that was scheduled for May 15-16 has been postponed. Thanks for your understanding.
The SBC of Virginia has compiled resources for online giving, live streaming, and other resources to help your church with the coronavirus.
Purpose: A Gathering for Girls is a gathering of middle and high schools girls providing a safe place to seek Christ and discover their purpose. Girls will hear from Mary Margaret West, Lexi Judy, and Courtney Veasey during the larger main sessions, and then will delve deeper into subjects like depression, cultural issues, and more during the breakouts.
Join us for this intentional time of investing in the next generation of women.

CAITIE HURSTCaitie Hurst is a graduate of Liberty University, with a degree in worship-leading. After graduation, she found herself interning at a Nashville-based Christian music label, where she felt led to create and share Christian music as an artist. Hurst’s songs and worship-leading resulted in recording and publishing deals with Centricity Music. Since then, she’s continued to create songs with magnetic melodies and rhythm that come from the journeys she’s walked and how she’s found Christ in all of them. Anxiety; jealousy; insecurity; fear. Journeys all of us can relate to, but too often are afraid to speak about.

How to lean on God when dealing with depression and/or anxiety.
We’ve heard it said before, “Social media is destroying the future generations.” But social media has a ton of positive functions, as well. Join me in navigating through the world of social media and how we can use it to better our generation and those to come.
We all ask it…Why am I here? What am I supposed to do with my life? How do I know God’s will? Together, we’ll dig in and navigate some of life’s most fundamental questions.
God can use us right where we are! But just how can we use our lives and voices to make a difference in the world? We will be learning to see people how God sees people, as well as discussing God’s heart for justice in a broken world and how we get to play a part in it.
We will discuss God’s fantastic plan for your love and dating relationships and how to avoid the most common lies the world tells you.
Learn how to dive into the Word and apply it to your daily life.
Where you lead, she will follow. Teenage girls and young adult women need you now more than ever. Don’t miss the opportunity to pour out and share what you’ve learned with the next generation and show them the way. Let’s talk about what it looks like to disciple the younger women God has placed in your life.
Moses, Jonah, Martha, the older brother to the Prodigal Son…these are ones in Scripture we might call “all-day workers” as described by Jesus in the Matthew 20 parable of vineyard laborers. To be a worker in God’s vineyard is both an honor and privilege, but it doesn’t come without times of frustration, hurt, exhaustion, etc. Join Courtney in this session as together you’ll seek encouragement from the Scriptures in seeing how God encouraged His laborers then to keep their hand to the gospel plow and how He still does, as well, for us serving Him today.
