If you’re a woman who has struggled with body image, disordered eating, or feeling like your worth is tied to the way you look, we want to personally invite you to the In His Image Conference 2025.

It’s happening on Saturday, November 15th at Cottonwood Creek Church in Allen, Texas—and this one-day event could be a turning point in your story.

This year’s theme is Healing Over Hiding. It’s a powerful invitation to step out of shame and silence and into the healing that only Jesus can bring. No more striving. No more hiding. Just space to be seen, known, and restored by the One who created you in His image.

You’ll hear from incredible speakers who’ve walked this road, who understand the pain behind the mirror—and who are ready to pour out truth, hope, and freedom rooted in Scripture.

If you’ve been longing for community, for healing, or to finally make peace with your body and your identity, this day is for you.

Bring your best friend, your small group, or come just as you are—we can’t wait to welcome you.

Choose Healing Over Hiding.
There is hope. And it starts here.
