Cultivate Women's Conference
Cultivate Hope with us April 24-25, 2026!
Cultivate is our yearly women’s conference. This year's theme is Hope! Cultivate happens every year in April and is a time to step away from the stresses of life and immerse yourself in God’s Word with your sisters. At Cultivate you will learn to cultivate a new hope in the Lord.
This year Cultivate will be April 24-25 in Crosswalk Conference Center. Our speaker is Tasha Calvert, Prestonwood Baptist Church Women's Minister, accompanied by Green Acres Worship.
The cost is $35 and includes a tshirt, food, and a special gift! Childcare is available for $5/child. Kids will be provided with pizza Friday night and a snack Saturday morning! Childcare registration will close April 16.
Prayer Emphasis
Cultivate does not happen without a strong prayer covering. There are 3 ways you can join us in prayer this year!
1. Cultivate Prayer Guides! This 24 day prayer guide will walk you through specific ways to be praying for Cultivate.
2. Cultivate Prayer Team- This is a small group of women that will be offering prayer during Cultivate. This team will be wearing a specific-colored t-shirt for attendees of Cultivate to ask you for prayer throughout the weekend. To apply for this team, email taylorg@gabc.org.
3. Cultivate Prayer Covering- If you are not able to attend Cultivate, but still want to be praying during the event, you can sign-up for a 30-minute time slot. We are hopeful to have constant prayer covering from the start to finish of Cultivate!
