Ladies Night Out - Rutherfordton, NC
2025-09-29 18:00 - 20:00 | R-S Central High School Auditorium, 641 U-S 221, Rutherfordton, NC, 28139, United States
Sister Chicks for Christ of Rutherford County invites women of all ages and stages to its 23rd Annual Ladies Night Out, a free event taking place at 6:00 PM on Monday, September 29, 2025, at the RS Central High School Auditorium.
Sister Chicks for Christ began 23 years ago when Janet Fountain gathered eight women in her home for an evening of encouragement. What started as a small gathering has grown into a county-wide event, with Janet’s daughters-in-law now carrying on the tradition by joining the organizing team.
“Sister Chicks offers ladies a lighthearted night of music, message, and encouragement,” says event organizer Janet Roller. “Women from all across the county come together for a fun and faith-filled evening.”
This year’s event will feature worship led by the 2nd Baptist Worship Team, followed by a keynote message from Christina Custodio. Custodio is a gifted communicator, author, and teacher whose journey shifted dramatically in 2015 when her son nearly died. That experience inspired her ministry and her book, When God Changed His Mind. Known for her authenticity, humor, and faith, Christina shares her real-life struggles and victories with grace and joy, encouraging others to see God’s hand—even in chaos. She and her husband, Ozzy, live in South Carolina and are the proud parents of three young adults.
Roller explains that nine years ago, the committee felt called to radical faith by offering the event completely free of charge. “We can’t thank local businesses enough for investing in women across Rutherford County,” she says. “This evening would not be possible without their generous support.”
Doors open at 5:15 PM, and the evening’s program will run from 6:00–8:00 PM. Individual donations will be accepted at the event.
Follow Sister Chicks for Christ of Rutherford County on Facebook for event updates, promotions, and future gatherings.
Founded in 2003, Sister Chicks for Christ exists to encourage and give hope to women through Christ. As Isaiah 30:21 reminds us: “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”
