The National TLSM Single Moms’ Conference has been to many states across the U.S., and 2023 is bringing it to...
MOBILE, Alabama!
Each year, we are flooded with the testimonies of moms who persevered, pressed, and pushed their way to the National TLSM Single Moms’ Conference and God changed everything for them. Despite the distractions, the obstacles, and the last-minute challenges, they knew that now was their season for something different. Their hunger for the presence of God led them to the largest Christian single moms’ conference in the nation! They knew God was ready to do something big. And do you know what happened when they made it there? God showed up. Lives were changed. Women were set free. Hope was restored. Long-time grief was healed. And God did new things in the lives of His daughters!
The same freedom that these moms have experienced is available for you at the 2023 National TLSM Single Moms’ Conference! Momma, maybe you have registered in years past, and for whatever reason, decided not to come. Maybe you have never heard of our conference and don’t know what to expect. Take a step out in faith and make the decision today to join us. Whether you gather your girlfriends and attend in-person (which we highly, highly recommend) or you host a free, virtual viewing party at your home or church, God is going to bless you.
Here are 14 reasons why you should attend the National TLSM Single Moms’ Conference:
#1
YOU WILL LEAVE CHANGED.
Rest assured, if you make plans to be at our conference, you will encounter the living God who makes all things new. The bells and whistles of any women's conference can be fun, but none of that matters without the presence of the Lord. Get ready for Him to move mountains, transform your life, and grow your faith in ways you can't even imagine. Need we say more? Some of you are hungry for God to touch you, to hear His voice, to be in His presence. Perhaps you’ve wandered in the wilderness for a season. Come be part of what God is doing in Mobile on Labor Day Weekend!
#2
YOU'LL HAVE THE BEST GIRLS' TRIP!
Grab your girls and make it a weekend you won’t forget. Carpooling not only saves money on gas and hotel expenses, but it also makes the trip even more fun! Load up the car with snacks, schedule a few stops along the way, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Then, after Conference, finish off your girls vacay with a trip to the beach in Alabama! There’s nothing like a little bit of sun, sand between your toes, and feeling the nice ocean breeze. (Tip: Book your hotel early! Check out our recommendations HERE.)
#3
FREE CHILDCARE IS available!
You may be thinking... Well, I'll need someone to watch my kids before even THINKING about going. We've got you covered, momma! We're offering FREE childcare for children ages six weeks to sixth grade. Hurry and register HERE now, as childcare spots are limited and go fast each year. (Note: Please, if you can make other childcare arrangements, please do so, in order to make room for moms who have no other options).
#4
YOU'LL MAKE NEW FRIENDS!
Ever since our very first Single Moms' Conference, we’ve been astounded with how women from different states are still friends today, have stayed in contact, and keep coming back to Conference to reunite. So if you're worried about going alone, don't let that stop you! This is the perfect opportunity to step out of your comfort zone to meet new friends. And the best part... you'll be in a room full of moms who are right there with you - who also want to make new friends, who also want to be the best mom they can be to their children, and who also want to grow in their faith.
#5
JENNIFER MAGGIO WILL BE SPEAKING!
Our very own founder & CEO, Jennifer Maggio, will be giving a POWERFUL keynote that you don't want to miss. If you haven't heard her speak before, check out her message from our 2022 National Single Moms' Conference HERE!
#6
PASTOR J.T. WILL BE TOO!
We're so excited to have Pastor J.T. of Healing Place Church, Dream Center in Baton Rouge, LA, join us to speak at this year's Conference! With a heart for single moms, his greatest desire is to be an example of how God doesn’t call the qualified, but how He qualifies the called. Momma, now is the time that you discover and walk in the call God has for your life, so join us at Conference to hear J.T.'s powerful message!
#7
AND PASTOR MARIA DURSO!
Our speaker lineup just keeps getting better with our opening keynote speaker, Pastor Maria Durso of Brooklyn, NY! Having come from a childhood devastated by loss and abuse, Maria grew up thinking she could mask her all pain with drugs. And yet, God preserved her life. Her testimony is one of hope that you, too can find freedom and restoration. Learn more about Pastor Maria on her website HERE!
#8
POWERFUL BREAKOUT SESSIONS.
Not only will we have three powerhouse keynote speakers, but you'll have five amazing breakout sessions to choose from! Whether you're interested in learning about money management, new parenting techniques, or how to grow in confidence, our breakout sessions got you covered! Check out each of the sessions you'll be able to choose from HERE.
#9
AN EXCLUSIVE WORKSHOP FOR LEADERS!
Single Mom Ministry leaders, including Bible study teachers, pastors, and nonprofit leaders, our National TLSM Single Moms' Conference is for you, too! You'll get exclusive access to our ministry leader workshop led by Jennifer Maggio! With almost two decades of front-line experience in single moms’ ministry, she has seen it all - the good, bad, and ugly.

As impossible as it may seem, we're making it happen at the 2023 National Single Moms' Conference! And don’t worry, moms, the children will have plenty to eat, too!
#13
THERE WILL BE LAUGHTER...
Momma, when was the last time you laughed? Like REALLY laughed? If you can't remember the last time you've had a good belly laugh with one of your girl friends, this is your sign to come to the 2023 National Single Moms' Conference!
#14
... AND TEARS.
Happy tears, sad tears, healing tears - be ready to experience them all at Conference!
While our 2023 event will have both virtual and in-person attendance options, we highly encourage every single mother who can get into the building at Mt. Hebron Church in Mobile, Alabama to attend in person. Fly, carpool, bus, run, walk, crawl. Whatever you have to do… get in the building. Can’t make it in-person? Host a virtual viewing party with other single mom friends!
Jessica D. | 2022 conference attendee
“How can I narrow down such a powerful and amazing move of God through this Conference down to one favorite moment? I can't! I loved every bit of it. From the powerful worship to the WOW message from the keynote speakers that were so relatable, and yet so beautiful. Then, add to that the raw, real, and honest breakout sessions, keeping us engaged and laughing. Followed by the moving, eye-opening, heart check message from Jennifer Maggio, right down to the Spirit-filled altar call and prayer over us moms! God truly shows up and shows out every year at the TLSM Conference!!!!”
