Ladies, grab your girlfriends and leave the men behind for an empowering, fun and inspirational time at Elevate Life Church’s annual women’s conference! ELC wants to invite all women to the Cathedral of Frisco for a powerful weekend on May 15^th and 16^th for She Conference. This year’s theme is “Journey” and will feature an inspirational line-up of speakers.

ELC is expected to host thousands of women at this year’s event. Hosted by Lead Pastors Keith and Sheila Craft, the conference is about celebrating all things women and empowering them to discover their value and potential.

Speakers this year include Priscilla Shirer, Wendy Treat, Natalie Cameron, Lead Pastors of Elevate Life Church Keith and Sheila Craft and Pastor Keela Craft. Speakers will share their unique life journeys and how they have elevated and empowered them to where they are today. One empowering story shared during the conference will be from Natalie Cameron, a victim of human trafficking after her orphanage released her. Cameron was rescued by Stella’s Voice, an organization that takes in older orphans in an effort to protect them from human trafficking rings. She now speaks internationally on behalf of Stella’s Voice to increase awareness of human trafficking and to expand their reach to help more children around the world. Cameron’s encouraging message will be about survival and creating a positive experience for others through your own personal journey.

“We are so excited to welcome women of all ages and walks of life join us in leading and empowering women,” says Lead Pastor Sheila Craft. “Our She Conference is one of my favorite times of the year, because I know that God is going to transform the lives of so many women through this event. Last year we had several women who visited from all over the U.S. for this inspirational weekend, and we can’t wait to see this year’s turnout!”
