Together - Women of Joy and you, for 3 days, 2 nights and 1 purpose - to glorify God in joyful praise! What happens when thousands of Christian women gather in one place? Amazing worship, the exposition of biblical Truth, strengthened relationships, encouraged spirits and deepened faith.

Our Mission
The Mission of Phil Waldrep Evangelistic Association is to share the gospel by all means, traditional and non-traditional, and to provide quality conferences and resources for people to develop their spiritual lives by strengthening their relationship with God, family and associates while maintaining a commitment to Biblical truth and highest levels of integrity.
What We Believe
We believe there is one God, co-existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God and is the sole guide for faith and practice.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. We believe Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed literal miracles, died a blood-atoning death, was bodily-resurrected from the grave, ascended to the Father, and will return literally in the future.
Salvation is by grace alone without any effort on the part of man. The Holy Spirit resides in every believer and is there to guide the believer in knowing the mind of Christ. The local church is the God-ordained institution for fulfilling the purpose and plan of God.
