2026 RETREAT SPEAKER

Emily Hill - Keynote Speaker

Emily Hill is a mom, wife, social worker, author and speaker who helps women discover how to experience Scripture in their everyday lives. Come be inspired and empowered to meet Jesus more personally and invite Him to love you in the way only He can.

Raised as the daughter of a Pastor and earning a Master of Divinity, I naively thought I had it all figured out. Then life hit hard. After a miscarriage and marriage struggles rocked my world, I ended up in a really dark place and started asking some questions. It was during that time when private journal entries turned in to a devotional study all about discovering the presence of God woven into the everyday moments of life. I learned so much about Him and who He created me to be during that time and it is my privilege to share with others how they can go on a similar journey to discover His true grace.
