The producers of “Liberty Mountain” also urge the public to visit the Kings Mountain National Military Park in South Carolina to experience first-hand the hallowed ground won by the Patriots in the historic battle.

The goal of this event is to empower, uplift, and encourage girls to find strength in God and their support system to overcome any obstacle that they may be facing in life. The event is free.

“We can’t allow our adversities in life to cripple the calling God has destined for us! The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but through the blood of Christ Jesus we shall live and declare the works of the Lord,” said founder Tiana Roberts.
