Women's Spring Conference
Women’s Spring Conference~ April 25, 10:00a.m.-3:00p.m at Reformed Theological Seminary Jackson

This will feature one of our favorite speakers, Susan Tyner, and will be held in the chapel of Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson. Deadline for registration is April 10.

CPC LifeWalk 2026
The 8th annual Center For Pregnancy Choices Life Walk is Saturday, April 25 at 9 a.m at Trustmark Park in Pearl. For ladies attending the Spring Women’s Conference, don’t worry—you can do both! The Life Walk takes only about 30 minutes, leaving plenty of time to head over to the conference at RTS Jackson nearby.
Life Walk is the annual fundraising event for the whole family! It includes fun, kid-friendly activities, and prize incentives for all age groups. Children, teens, and the whole family can make an impact and protect the vulnerable by raising donations to help bring hope to women in our state by supporting the CPC Metro!
This walk matters because the crisis is real, and the gospel calls us not only to believe but to respond with courage and compassion. Life Walk isn’t just a date on the calendar. It’s a response to a moment that demands one. Right now, abortion is increasingly hidden behind a screen, a shipment, a few clicks. The abortion pill has changed the landscape, isolating women at the exact moment they need care, truth, and real support. The crisis is quieter, faster, and more accessible than ever. And that makes our response more urgent, not less.
Sign up HERE to join the Highlands Team as a walker or you can also give to support our walkers HERE. All ages can participate! Every dollar raised empowers the choice for life in Mississippi!
See the LINK for more information. If you need help signing up or have any questions please contact Christy Burgess at 601-506-1957 or burgess.christy9@gmail.com.
