About the Conference
You Weren’t Meant to Do This Alone.
Life is busy. Responsibilities are constant. Yet many women quietly carry their burdens alone.
Rise & Pray United was created to provide a welcoming space for women to gather in prayer, encouragement, worship, and authentic connection.
Through meaningful conversations, practical teaching, and shared faith, you’ll spend a day being refreshed, strengthened, and reminded that you were never meant to walk alone.
Join us August 8, 2026 at The Westin DC Downtown.
