Fresh Grounded Faith Event
with Jennifer Rothschild
Warm Your Heart, Awaken Your Spirit
Our goal is to both will enrich and honor the emotional and spiritual aspects of a woman’s life through encouragement, edification and Biblical teaching. We pray that women who attend the event will open their hearts to God’s message so they can be empowered to tenaciously live out their faith in God.
We will spend an evening and half of one day having an incredibly fun and meaningful time connecting women to the Lord Jesus Christ, encouraging them to build eternal relationships with Jesus and each other. Our prayer is to unify the Body of Christ and prayerfully stir women to invite other women from work, school, neighborhoods and all areas of their lives and build eternal relationships.

Can I purchase tickets at the door?
Fresh Grounded Faith Events usually sell out. We recommend purchasing tickets in advance to secure a seat. This is expected to be another sold-out event.

You will receive one pink wristband if you purchase General Seating which will allow you entry into the event on both Friday and Saturday. You will need to wear it throughout the event. If you purchase premier seating then you will receive one pink wristband and one gold wristband and you will need to wear both wristbands to be seated in Premier Section. The gold wristband identifies that you have a reserved seat in the Premier Section. Without both wristbands you will not be able to be seated in that section.
Can I attend just on Friday night or just on Saturday?
We would love for you to attend both Friday and Saturday so you don’t miss anything. If you can only attend one day, we will miss you and encourage you to make arrangements to attend as much as possible. You will need to purchase a ticket to attend any part of the event.
Is there a group rate?
Fresh Grounded Faith Events are affordably priced and offer early bird pricing so you can gather a group together and save with Early Bird pricing (until Jan 30, 2012) by calling FGF at 1-800-859-7992.

If my church or my group purchases a large group of tickets, will we have reserved seating?
There will be general seating at the event. We encourage your group to arrive early and sit together in a section that best fits your needs.
When I ordered my ticket, I was told to pick it up at “Will Call.” Can I pick it up at the host church the day before the event?
The doors will open one hour before the event begins, so we encourage you to arrive early and pick up your ticket during that hour.
Does my ticket include breakfast or lunch?
Although your ticket does not include breakfast or lunch, it does include complimentary coffee (Jennifer's Girlfriend Blend) Saturday morning before the conference and again at the morning break.
What should I wear?
Women of all ages will be present so we recommend that if you are usually cold, bring a sweater; if you’re usually warm, layer so you can be comfortable. We recommend long pants, jeans or a skirt, and comfortable shoes.

Fresh Grounded Faith Events are becoming popular and are in demand. Please check our website at www.FreshGroundedFaith.com as we pray about where God would lead us so we can minister to as many women as possible. You can also find Jennifer’s complete speaking schedule at www.JenniferRothschild.com.
How was St. Simons Community Church chosen?
Since the events are region-wide, facilities need to hold at least 1200 women and be able to handle all the aspects of the event. Fresh Grounded Faith Events select sites based on the churches that meet the requirements and have a heart to do region-wide, Kingdom-Minded events.
Can my church be involved?
Absolutely! It is our prayer and desire to make sure that as many churches as possible become involved in this event. Your church can gather a group together and attend; many women's ministries come as a group and enjoy two days together. Your church can help publicize the event by going to www.FreshGroundedFaith.com and print off material that they can share at their churches. There are also PowerPoint slides available that you can use during your church services. Contact Fresh Grounded Faith at 1-800-859-7992 if you are interested in these. We encourage your church to get involved by becoming a co-host church and receive the many benefits of being a part of Fresh Grounded Faith in your community.
When you purchase 10 or more tickets at once, you will receive group ticket pricing and if you purchase before the early bird deadline you will save even more. When you purchase 10 or more your church or group will receive one free ticket (up to 10 free tickets per group). Attending the event as a group is a great way to bring your women’s ministry group together. We encourage you to call Jennifer Rothschild Ministries toll free at 800-859-7992.
What denomination is this?
This event is not focused on any denomination and we welcome women from all denominations. This is a Kingdom-Minded interdenominational regional event, committed to helping women of all backgrounds, ages, nationalities and groups.
What will I need to bring?
You will want to bring a Bible and a pen or pencil. Also due to the temperature both inside and outside often times the worship center is hard to regulate to make everyone comfortable so you will want to carry a light jacket or sweater with you. The speakers will have merchandise tables with their materials available for you to purchase.
How can I bring a Fresh Grounded Faith Event to my community?
You can go to www.FreshGroundedFaith.com and find out more information about how you might bring a Fresh Grounded Faith Event to your community.
