VIRTUE 2016

Continuing the Christian Journey:

A Woman after Christ's Heart

From 2012-15, the Aberdeen church of Christ brought us the Virtue Ladies Retreat, attracting the participation of over 30 congregations up and down the East Coast and hundreds of women and girls. And now they have passed the baton to the Northeast Baltimore Bible Institute and College to continue this great work for our women and girls. 

Virtue 2016 promises to provide you with the spiritual edification you need in these trying times. 

The 2016 theme, "Continuing the Christian Journey: A Woman after Christ's Heart," represents the continuum of Christian growth and spiritual edification, Bible-based teachings presented by the knowledgeable Virtue teachers and speakers, and fellowship with hundreds of sisters from congregations throughout the region and up and down the east coast.

We want every sister, from 5 years of age to our oldest elder sisters, to know that the Christian journey does not begin or end at a certain age. Instead, it is a lifelong adventure of living for Christ, striving to live in His example, being obedient to the Word of God, and bringing others to Christ through our personal witness, the example we set, and by teaching them the Gospel.
