Women’s Retreat
Saturday, June 28, 2025
9:00 am – 4:00 pm
at Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center
What if “God with us” wasn’t just a story from the manger—but the secret to a transformed life?
All women are invited to join us for a one-day retreat to connect with other women and experience the truth of “Emmanuel: God with Us, In Us, Through Us.”
We’ll spend the day hearing from Brooke Martin, former Emmy Award winning news anchor and reporter, turned author and speaker. In her compelling message, Brooke Martin will share how her understanding of Emmanuel moved from a historical truth to a personal, life-altering reality. Through her own journey of pain and healing, Brooke will unpack how the indwelling of the Holy Spirit reveals that God isn’t just near—He’s within. This talk will stir your faith, shift your perspective, and awaken you to the presence of God that changes everything.
This event is open to all women. We can’t wait to see you!

Who is Brooke Martin?

Brooke Martin is an EMMY-winning anchor and reporter originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. For 15 years, Brooke told the community’s stories and asked the hard questions of those in charge. From an Oval Office interview to a conversation with a neighbor who just lost their job, Brooke has had a front row seat to both the impressive and the important stories that make up our lives.
But none impacted her more than her own. Shortly after announcing her second pregnancy on air, Brooke and her husband received a fatal diagnosis for their daughter, Emma Noelle. For 6 months, Brooke carried their daughter while publicly walking through grief and ultimately loss.
Brooke is now working to show others how life’s fires have the ability to bring new growth, greater beauty and everlasting hope. Her first book, Controlled Burn: Rising from the Ashes to Forge an Unshakable Faith, is out now.
