On Friday, February 27th, 2026 from 6pm-8:30pm, Grace in the Wilderness will be hosting the Empowered Jesus Girl Teen Conference at East Pickens Baptist Church. It is an evening designed to inspire and equip girls in 5th grade and up to pursue the life God has set before them with courage, purpose, and joy.\u00a0<\/span>This year, we are honored to welcome Ciara Dierking as our guest speaker. Ciara is a quad amputee following a sudden illness in 2023, yet her story is one of incredible strength, faith, and unwavering hope. She is a devoted mother of two boys, a talented artist, and a living testimony of God\u2019s sustaining grace through hardship. Her message encourages girls to trust the Lord boldly, even when life takes unexpected turns. <\/span>Formerly, a quiet and reserved person, Ciara now uses her story to speak candidly about suffering and finding purpose after life-altering loss. Her story encourages girls of every age. This event is for girls 5th grade & up. The event cost is $5 per participant so we can bless Ciara and her family with medical and ministry support. (If financial hardship is a concern, scholarships are available. We never want cost to prevent a girl from attending.) Ciara will also have t shirts \/ hoodies \/ artwork available for purchase from her Always Grateful Threads Ministry. You can view the shirts and Ciara’s story at AlwaysGratefulThreads.com. <\/span><\/p>\n

Join us as we gather to celebrate the purpose God has for each girl! We\u2019ll kick off the night with food, fellowship, and photo booths, then move into praise and worship, followed by an impactful testimony from Ciara Dierking. We are so excited about this event and can\u2019t wait to see you there! Let us know if you have any questions!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2728<\/b>Frequently Asked Questions\u2728<\/b><\/h1>\n

Our heart for this event is to encourage, empower, and strengthen teen girls to walk boldly with Christ!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few clarifications to help everyone prepare:<\/span><\/p>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 <\/span>Why is the conference for 5th & up?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Empowered Jesus Girl is designed specifically as a teen conference. At times, mature or sensitive topics may come up, so we encourage leaders to bring girls who are in 5th grade (around age 10) and older.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2\ufe0f\u20e3 Can women\u2019s groups attend this event?<\/b><\/p>\n

We love the support from women of all ages! However, this event is geared toward young women ages 10\u201320, and the topics will be designed for middle & high school students.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will host additional women\u2019s events throughout the year and will share those as they come.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a mother, grandmother, aunt, or youth leader of a teen girl, you are encouraged to attend with her\u2014and bring friends!<\/span><\/p>\n
