What is Lumina?

Lumina is a Christian women’s conference designed to equip and encourage women to grow in living out their faith. Not only do we want to learn from God’s Word, we want to grow in confidence that it can be trusted. Lumina is a place of learning, growth, and praise to our God. We want to know Him and make Him known.

Who is lumina for?

Lumina is for women of all generations, cultures, and denominations. This is a great place to gather with women from your church and community to grow in knowing God deeper.

What is Included in the Experience?

The Lumina conference is a two day experience. One full day of impactful worship and teaching in Museum of the Bible’ s World Stage Theater, and a half day led by an Inspire guide through Museum of the Bible’s immersive exhibits.

Who Are We?

Lumina was born out of a desire for Women to have a new place to gather and be equipped with God’s Word. We believe theology is for everyone, and that opportunities to grow in biblical foundations form a healthier and more impactful body of Christ. For a quick view of our beliefs, see the Nicene Creed.

Women Rise Together

Inspire Your Faith

OCTOBER 27 & 28

This year’s Lumina conference will be looking at the big question, “Who is God?” because once we know Him, absolutely everything changes.
