May 3 & 4, 2024
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH, CHAMPAIGN, Illinois

We desperately want to stay faithful in these times, but we know we can't muster up the faith all on our own. IF:2024 matters to us, because for two days we get to gather and remind each other that God is who we need. God is who will provide. We gather for two days of worship, with our Bibles, and we ask God to move. 

We're so excited to be hosting the 2 day simulcasted IF:Gathering as an IF:Local! We'll spend time together, being encouraged in God's word, equipped to go forth and make disciples of ALL THE NATIONS- right where God has placed us.  We'll have live worship, world renown simulcasted teaching and local discussion to help encourage one another in prayer and TRUTH.

Join us at First Christian Church at the Champaign location on:

Friday, May 3
Doors open at 5:30P
Event: 6P-9:30P

Saturday, May 4
Doors open at 8:45A
Event: 9-4P (lunch break included)

Ticket price is $65 to include event content, swag bag, snacks/drinks, lunch and other items to help us share in community during our time together. 

Last day to register is April 21st.

Would you like to bless another woman to attend IF:2024 through scholarship? You will have that option at checkout!
