FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019, GRACE GIRLS ARE GETTING AWAY TOGETHER FOR SOME QUIET TIME WITH GOD
Menu
HAS THERE EVER BEEN A TIME WHEN YOU ALMOST LOST HEART? A SEASON WHEN YOUR MIND WAS CONFUSED, YOUR FEELINGS WERE A MESS AND YOUR FAITH WAS ON SHAKY GROUND?
It’s natural for doubt to creep in – but we can choose not to give it control. We can decide that no matter what, we will believe that God is still good, still in control and still doing a new thing!
To have unshakable faith, we have to go all in. At this year’s retreat, Grace Girls will learn to dive deeper into God’s word, believe all of His promises and put our full confidence in His provision and care.
Remade by Grace is your chance to seek a deeper connection with God, engage in conversations that strengthen your faith and build community for the journey. If you’re ready to join us in developing a faith that remains calm in chaos, register today!
We’re headed back to peaceful Cambridge, Md., for the return of our annual Remade by Grace retreat. Join us for an intimate, introspective experience that will help you go deeper in God.

Artist
Doe Jones
DOE is a multi-layered artist who hopes to bless the world with her authenticity and undeniable musical gift.
Born in Washington State and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, DOE grew up with a family that performed on the gospel circuit. At 16, she joined her parents and four siblings to create the septet, Forever Jones. The group released two albums on EMI Gospel, “Get Ready” in 2010 and “Musical Revival” in 2012, followed by their self-released “Prayer Tools, Vol. 1” in 2014. The family saw much success and was nominated for multiple Stellar and Dove awards and two Grammy Awards.
In 2014, she embarked on her solo career. DOE has since been featured on Jonathan McReynolds’ single “Cycles,” and she released her singles, “Deepest Part of You,” “Reach,” and the hit “Brighter,” from her self-titled EP.
The songstress is excited to share her sound with a broader audience to impact lives positively.
