LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – (News release from First United Methodist Church)

Hundreds of women will gather for the upcoming Fresh Grounded Faith women’s event on October 24 – 25 in Lubbock, TX. The event will be hosted by one church, First United Methodist Church, but presented by many churches from the region.

Women from many different churches and denominations will join together for this two-day unifying conference. Teams of volunteers have been meeting and preparing for months with a single goal in mind: to create a life-changing experience for women in our community.

“It’s inspiring to see so many different churches coming together in unity to bring this event to the area,” says founder and featured speaker Jennifer Rothschild, who became blind at age 15. “The process of putting on a Fresh Grounded Faith event breaks down traditional denominational barriers, and brings women together. There are nearly a hundred volunteers from these different churches working together.”

Jennifer was recently a guest on The Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda, and has also appeared on Dr. Phil, Good Morning America, and an annual Billy Graham Television Special.

The motto of Fresh Grounded Faith is “One Event. Many Churches. For Every Woman.”

When the day arrives, volunteers will assemble for the volunteers-only meet and greet to mobilize for the weekend. Every one of the volunteers will play an important role in the success of the event.

“Listen, I may be on the platform in the spotlight with other speakers and worship leaders, but let me tell you, it’s the women who will pour you a cup of coffee, greet you with a smile, and point you to the restrooms who will set the tone for this event,” says Rothschild. “It’s all about creating an atmosphere where every woman feels welcome. We’ve got women in attendance who have a deep and rich faith, but we also have women who have a small cup of faith, or no faith experience at all. Everyone is welcome—we want to meet women where they are. We’re just real women wanting a refreshing experience that’s packed with relevant truth for everyday living,” Rothschild says.

Fresh Grounded Faith will feature best-selling author and Bible teacher Jennifer Rothschild, Tammy Trent and Michael O’Brien. The event will take place at First United Methodist Church located at 1411 Broadway Ave., Lubbock, TX 79401.

About Fresh Grounded Faith:

Fresh Grounded Faith brings women together to connect with God and connect with each other. Since 2008, Jennifer Rothschild and her FGF Event Team have traveled across the United States offering a venti-sized weekend of encouragement to over 148,000 women in 157 different locations. Engaging many local churches of different denominations, the conference has gained recognition as a unifying event for the churches of the region. Women form lasting relationships as they link arms to serve others in the area, and the ripple effect can be felt in the community long after the event has left the city.
