About Us

Who We Are

The Right to Wear White is a Christ-centered, non-profit organization devoted to the unobscured teaching of the Biblical message of purity. The Right to Wear White is a subsidiary of Rising Oaks Ministries Inc. and is not affiliated with any specific denomination or church group.

What We Do

Through our annual retreats and other events, we strive to encourage girls of all ages, with the help of their moms and other mentors, to discover the truth and freedom that can be found in their heavenly Father’s message of purity. We believe that this is one of the strongest contributions a young woman can make towards achieving emotional freedom in her day-to-day life and a rock-solid foundation for her future marriage.

We have an ecumenical focus and welcome people of all faiths to our events.

Where We’re Going

We are very excited about where God is taking this ministry, and are seeking ways to grow our ministry to accommodate the huge demand for solid Biblical teaching on sexual purity that we encounter every year. Since the very first retreat in 2003, when Dawn and Laura ran themselves ragged to get everything done, God has blessed us with a wonderful team of passionate people, including retreat leaders, decorators, counselors, and pastors.

We consistently meet out-of-town visitors who express interest in holding retreats in their own communities. In 2008, we were blessed with the opportunity to take the retreat on the road for the first time, holding one in Ontario in addition to our regular Edmonton retreat. Since then, we have expanded into two other Alberta communities and look forward to further growth.

Though devoted, our core group of volunteer leaders can’t possibly keep up with our current rate of growth, so we are in the process of creating a retreat package which will enable individuals or churches to hold Right to Wear White retreats in their own communities. Stay tuned for updates on this.
