The 2026 WCTL Rejoice, Refresh, Renew Women’s Conference, in its 18th year, was the largest event yet in the series. Over 1,000 women gathered Friday evening, March 20th at Erie First Assembly of God to participate in this unique, non-denominational, faith-filled event.

Highlighting the evening was keynote speaker Lysa TerKeurst, President and Chief Visionary Officer of Proverbs 31 Ministries. She is also a six-time New York Times’ bestselling author and one of the most beloved voices in Christian women’s ministry today. Lisa was joined by Erie-area leader Lori Pickens, and special musical guest Breanna Nix, a top three finalist in last year’s American Idol competition. WCTL Program Director Lori Clapper was the MC for the event.

WCTL is Erie’s heritage Contemporary Christian Music radio station, serving the community since 1967, operated by Inspiration Time, Inc.
