2026 LYFE Women's Conference
November 13-14, 2026
Northfield Baptist Church, Northfield, Ohio
Friday evening & Saturday or Saturday only
For more than 40 years, LYFE has encouraged women to Live Your Faith Everyday. Now, we’re bringing that experience to Northfield Baptist Church! Through Bible teaching with Dr. Sherrie Holloway, a special concert with Kezia Curry, and practical breakout sessions, we’ll explore what it means to stand firm in God’s promises through life’s changes and challenges.
From Genesis to Revelation, God’s Word is filled with promises that hold us steady in every season. At LYFE, we’ll explore how to live with bold confidence—not in ourselves, but in the God who keeps every word He speaks. No matter your story, your past, or your present—in Him and His promises, you can be UNSHAKEABLE.
Early Bird Registration ends October 5! Register at the link below.

Volunteer Opportunities
An opportunity to minister...
As a church, we provide comfort to families during the loss of a loved one through a meal. The lunch following funeral services gives the family a place to gather and remember. If you would like to give toward this ministry, please contribute your gift through the link below and select "Funeral Fund."
The Funeral Ministry Team could also use more members who are willing to set up for the meal, serve, or clean up after a meal. If you would like to be a part of this ministry, please email Gail Lehto.
Interested in photography?
If you enjoy taking pictures, we are looking for several volunteers who are willing to capture photos of our church family, our events, and our services to be used on our website and in social media. If you have interest and some experience, as well as a good camera, please email the church office.
Covered Walkway & Playground Improvements
Phase 1 - Project 1
Hey look! Almost $70,000 has been given to help repay our borrowed funds! We are well on our way toward our goal of $100,000. Thank you for your faithfulness in giving toward the covered walkway and playground.
There have been many who have invested time toward making our church playground a fun and safe place for our children! We are so thankful for the hard work of the Playground Team!
