Meet Charmaine….
We are excited for the 92nd Annual Conference scheduled on June 6, 2026. Our theme for the conference is “Growing Spiritually” with our key Scripture from 2 Peter 3:18…..
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”
Join us in Parchment Valley for a Saturday full of practical workshops to help you minister to the women of your church and community, fellowship with other women across the state, sing some amazing worship songs, and more. One of the most exciting parts of Conference is the keynote speaker, Charmaine Stulp. Please read on for a note from Charmaine introducing herself….
Hello everyone, my name is Charmaine and I usually start by saying I'm a farm girl! Truth is I only lived on a farm until I was 12, but it continues to impact who I am. I am the youngest of six children, born into a middle-class white Mennonite blended family with Swiss roots.
My husband pastored for over 20 years and we found beauty and deep meaning in the various traditions and people in Christian Reformed, Presbyterian and Be In Christ churches. We have been married for over 31 years and both just turned 51. Our adult kids, Mikaela and Anderson, still live at home. The gift of infertility led us down the adoption road and brought beautiful diversity to our home. Mikeala is mixed race and Anderson is Ethiopian.
I worked as a hairstylist for years and was grateful for the flexibility of working from home while raising our kids. About 7 years ago, I began working for our denomination in Global work, some HR and administration. I have loved this change and the way it has increased my skillset and broadened my small world.
For fun, I get out power tools or sit at my sewing machine. I walk with friends or dig in my flowerbeds. My brain comes up with far more ideas than the hours of the day allow and I’m still learning how to pace myself!
We would love for Charmaine to come to West Virginia feeling like she is coming home to family. Introduce yourself in the comments so she will already know use before she gets here. I’m sure she will enjoy the warm pre-conference welcome!
