Joy Fellowship Worship Center — Hopewell, VA

Encounter 2026 is a special women’s conference designed to help you encounter Jesus in a deeper, more life-changing way. In the busyness of life, it’s easy to lose sight of who God is and how intimately He desires to walk with each of us. This event is all about pausing, refocusing, and rediscovering our identity and purpose in Christ.

What to Expect

This full-day experience includes:
Two main sessions with life-giving worship and inspiring teaching
Interactive workshops that invite you into deeper spiritual growth
Lunch, light dinner, snacks, and fellowship throughout the day
• A warm, welcoming space to be refreshed and encouraged

The theme of Encounter 2026 centers on what it means to be “seated in heavenly places” with Christ — not striving in our own strength, but living with confidence and purpose because of who He is and who we are in Him.

Interactive Workshops

You’ll have the opportunity to grow through one of two workshop tracks:
• Restored: Explore your true identity in Christ and how to live from that identity rather than from the world’s expectations.
• Reinstated: Learn to walk in the authority Jesus has given you, including how to stand strong against spiritual challenges.

This conference is perfect for women seeking deeper connection with God, renewed passion for daily life, and meaningful fellowship with other believers. Whether this is your first conference or your fifteenth, Encounter 2026 is crafted to feed your soul and strengthen your faith.
