THERE{4} Gathering is a two-day conference designed to equip high school girls to know Christ and boldly live out their faith. Through powerful worship, dynamic teaching, and a community of girls from all walks of life, this weekend creates space for real connections with God and with each other. Join us in 2027, for a fresh encounter with truth, purpose, and the hope found only in Jesus.
The thoughts you believe shape who you become. What fills your mind matters more than you think because what you dwell on quietly shapes your identity, your decisions, and your future. At THERE{4} 2027, we’re leaning into that truth, learning to recognize the lies, fix our eyes on what is real, and renew our minds with what God says is true. You don’t have to believe every thought. Strong in mind. Firm in faith.

Texas native, Chidima, has been using her gift of music to touch those around her from a young age. After her first solo performance at the age of nine, she realized that God had given her a voice, and she began pursuing a music career. Chidima sang in church throughout her teenage years, and while she loved leading worship, she only saw it as something to do on the side. However, that changed her freshman year of college when she attended a conference for college students. It was there she felt a shifting in her heart, as her dreams began to align with God's heart for her and His plan for her gifting. She knew He was calling her to a life of worship through song. Now at 30, Chidima hasn't stopped pursuing her passion for worship. She has an ever-growing desire to touch the heart of God, and a deep love for helping lead others into the throne room of the Almighty. She now lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, Michael and leads worship at Passion City Church in the heart of Atlanta.
