James River Church Eagerly Prepares to Host the 2025 Designed for Life Conference in Springfield, Missouri
James River Church and Designed for Life are excitedly preparing to host thousands of women from across the country at the 2025 Designed for Life Conference.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In less than a month, from October 9-11, James River Church will welcome world-renowned speakers and a community of women to its South Campus in Ozark, MO, for the 2025 Designed for Life Women’s Conference. Now in its 21st year, the annual gathering, hosted by the church’s women’s ministry, Designed Sisterhood, has become a foundational and anchoring event for women of faith.
Among this year’s highlights are worship leaders Tiffany Hudson and Jenn Johnson. Hudson, a vocalist with Elevation Worship, is a Grammy Award winner and part of the team behind chart-topping songs like “Graves into Gardens” and “Same God”. Johnson, co-founder and singer with Bethel Music, has helped shape modern worship for over two decades.
This year’s conference will also feature performances from James River Church’s musical collective, James River Worship, in light of the August 22 release of their debut full-length album, Glorious. Several songs have already become favorites in weekly services, and the worship team is set to bring the same passion and energy to the arena stage.
Internationally acclaimed pastors Chad and Julia Veach, Alex Seeley, Oneka McClellan, and Quezia Fernandes will offer teachings and encouragement on identity, relationships, leadership, confidence, spiritual growth, and authenticity, while James River Church’s Debbie Lindell and Savannah Gibson will lead the conference.
Last year, more than 10,000 women from all 50 states and over 60 nations participated, a reflection of Designed Sisterhood’s passion to help women experience God’s presence, build lasting friendships, and discover their renewed purpose.
The 2025 theme, “Upon This Rock,” highlights Christ as the unshakable foundation of life and faith, reminding women that when they anchor their lives in Him, they find both strength and unity.
About the Designed for Life Conference
