Celebrate 39 years of empowering women through faith, purpose, and power!
The Department of Women of Holy Redeemer Institutional COGIC invites you to the 39th Annual Women’s Empowerment Brunch, a transformative gathering designed to inspire, equip, and uplift women of all ages. This year’s theme, “Her Purpose | Her Power | Her Path,” calls us to walk boldly in God’s calling, embrace our divine identity, and live courageously in today’s world.
About the Empowerment Brunch
For nearly four decades, Holy Redeemer Department of Women have brought hope and empowerment for women across Milwaukee and beyond. Rooted in prayer, worship, and teaching, the Women’s Empowerment Brunch brings together dynamic leaders, preachers, and sisters in Christ for a day of fellowship, encouragement, and transformation.
This year, we continue the legacy of equipping women to rise with strength, walk in their God-given authority, and step into the future with clarity and courage.
