The New Is Here
February 13 & 14
Grace City Church
Lakeland, FL
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
2 Corinthians 5:17
Since the beginning of Echo Conference, our heart has been to encourage and equip women in their God-given purpose and to empower them to live lives that are set apart. The theme for Echo Conference 2026 is “THE NEW IS HERE.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 declares, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
God calls His daughters to embrace the new life He has made available to us through Christ. The old burdens, fears, and limitations no longer define us. In Him, we are renewed, restored, and set free to walk in His purpose and His power. No matter our past, His grace invites us into a future full of hope, transformation, and victory. The new is not just coming. The new is here, and it’s time to step into the newness that God has for each one of us.
