Discover God’s Calling for Your Life @ Tacoma Arts Community Center
Tickets
Jan 14 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139:14)! God loves you so much that He intentionally created, gifted, and called you for such as a time as this. He has specifically called you and provided you all the tools you need to walk in the purpose and calling He crafted for your life. What an awesome, loving God we serve!

Knowing your calling, creates a sense of purpose, and can help you become content, happy, and confident. Why? Because walking in your calling is walking in God’s love, manifesting the glory of God. This is the how you live your best life!

Are you ready to walk in your calling?

This in-person, interactive, hands-on workshop is for women who are ready to begin the journey of aligning their lives with God’s calling. If you’re ready to explore how your current life stage correlates with your next stage in life, calling, and purpose, this workshop is for you. Now is the time to live a purpose-oriented life, unlock God’s vision for your life, grasp a fresh mindset to pivot into a happier, more fulfilling life, and impact the kingdom of God.
