The IF:Gathering seeks to gather, equip, and unleash this generation of women to live out God's calling on their lives. We are a generation of women that believes God at His Word that He called us to our places and will use us for His glory and for the good of His people. Our goal is to make the name of Jesus great in and through the women of our church, neighborhood, & city.

About This Event 
The world around us feels like it is crumbling and almost nothing seems certain, until we look to Jesus and see that our Hope is very clear and certain. He didn't just give us salvation-Jesus is our salvation and the example of what it means to live in the fullness of grace and truth. What the world needs is His redemption, the very redemption and hope that lives inside of us. Rather than shrink back, it is time to love like Jesus loved, serve like Jesus served, pray like Jesus prayed, and pursue holiness like Jesus pursued it. Join this global gathering of women across denominations, generations, and cultures as we come together in the name of Jesus.

Event Details 
We look forward to hosting IF:Gathering 2016! The last two years have been sweet times of deepening our love of Christ and moving us to demonstrate that love to the world around us. We are expectant and ready to see what God has for each woman who attends!
Women of all ages from all over Des Moines connecting through our one Jesus.

SURRENDERING THE SECRET STUDY
SURRENDERING THE SECRET 

Surrendering the Secret 2

STARTING THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 22
Abortion can be one of the most traumatic experiences in a woman's life. Surrendering the Secret is a powerful 8-week study that helps hurting women find the path to healing through honest, interactive Bible study. With compassion, you will be encouraged and supported as you allow God into rooms of your heart that might have been sealed for too long. It's time to let go of the shame, accept His forgiveness and heal. All you need is to be willing.
God wants to set you free!
