We love good stories and especially those that inspire us! Our amazing story is that of Set Apart! We gratefully tell how Set Apart has created special opportunities for women to connect with God and to be encouraged in their faith since 1982. As is often the case, behind every good story is an even greater story! We confidently acknowledge this because the Set Apart story is entirely wrapped within the grace and truth of the Greatest Story: The message of God’s love expressed through Jesus Christ, His Beloved Son.
The “A Day Set Apart for Women” story reveals how God used two very specific needs (to encourage women in their faith and to raise scholarship funds for Northwestern students) to inspire the vision for this conference. It was Christ’s love that inspired Pauline Wilson, Eleanor Anderson, Bunny Erickson and Marion Bildsoe to step out in faith to create A Day Set Apart for Women. We are confident that Christ’s love and grace have sustained this conference for His Glory, preserving this vision to be the consistent hallmark of Set Apart, a Faith-filled Conference for Women (renamed in 2007).
Each year, through Set Apart, women have made significant faith decisions, heard inspirational messages, and received resources useful to encourage them, their families and churches to grow in vibrant faith. Set Apart remains thoroughly committed to encourage women to establish and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ; to increase their understanding of God’s Word, the Bible; and to experience the sweet fellowship and encouragement provided by the Holy Spirit. Set Apart belongs to God and exists to bring honor to His name because He lives!
Mark 6:31: And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat." (RSV)
