Experience the joy of community at our third annual Celebrate & Connect Women’s Event on Saturday, March 8, 2025. Together, we'll share breakfast charcuterie boards, explore a women-owned marketplace, and enjoy our remarkable keynote speakers—a mother-daughter duo. Ticket registration will go live in January 2025. 

Purpose

This gathering exists to celebrate God's work in our lives, foster meaningful connections, and support future generations of Calvin women.

Last March, we raised over $3,000 for the 2024 Celebrate & Connect Scholarship. Your presence at Calvin women's events makes a difference in the lives of Calvin students. Together, we'll continue to raise funds for this impactful scholarship. 

Make a gift to the Celebrate & Connect Scholarship as you register, or through our giving page. 

Keynote

We're thrilled to announce our 2025 keynote speakers: Jean Stoffer and Calvin alumna Grace Start '15! Together, they'll share the ministry of hospitality and home.

About Jean Stoffer Design: Jean’s classic style and Grace’s fresh modern sensibility create a unique and compelling style that is comfortable, timeless and beautiful. Many have come to know Jean and Grace, their designs and their relationship, by watching their TV show The Established Home on Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Network. Many have also learned the inside story by reading Jean’s book, Establishing Home: Creating space for a beautiful life with family, faith, and friends, released November 2022.
