War, famine, persecution, racism, human trafficking, natural disasters, and forced migration have left millions of people around the world displaced and vulnerable. In the face of this global crisis, God is opening pathways for His people to respond with courage and compassion.

Whether you’re just beginning to learn or already walking with refugees, this session will encourage and equip you to embody Christ’s love in a hurting world. 

What is your experience in women’s ministry? Are you looking for ideas to start one, or have you been running a women’s ministry but feel like you’re lacking direction? Perhaps you feel alone and unsupported.

Whether you’re a seasoned Women’s Ministry Director or simply wondering if anyone in your church has a heart for other women, let’s have a conversation together.

Social media has made these three terms part of the common vernacular, especially amongst young people, but what do they really mean? Pop Psychology has watered down these terms, affecting those truly experiencing toxic relationships, trauma, or triggers.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19–20)

Jesus calls all of us to make disciples—not just converts. Discipleship means helping others grow in their love for Jesus, learn His Word, and follow His commands. But many of us don’t always feel equipped to do that.

Jennifer, Stephanie, and Faye are three women who have been discipled, have discipled others, and have helped train women to grow in faith. In this panel, they’ll share what they’ve learned along the way and offer encouragement and practical ideas for women who want to answer this call.

We’ll talk about:

• What discipleship is (and what it’s not)

• Why it matters

• Who should disciple

• Who should be discipled

• When and how it can happen in everyday life

We’ll also share helpful resources to guide and support women on this journey.

Whether you’re already discipling someone, just getting started, or looking for a godly woman to walk with you, our prayer is that you leave encouraged and equipped for faithful discipleship.

In this workshop, we will look to God’s wisdom to answer questions about anxiety. Where does anxiety begin? Why are we anxious? Why do our bodies feel like our enemy when we’re anxious? Can God help with our anxiety? Is there hope in the midst of anxiety? Ultimately, we will be working toward learning how we help each other find God’s peace when circumstances fuel anxiety.

In this breakout session, Angie offers an in-depth exposition of Romans 16:1-16, drawing attention to the remarkable number of women with whom Paul partnered in ministry. She observes that while Paul greets twice as many men as women, he commends twice as many women as men—highlighting their significant contributions. Among these women, Paul refers to one as a deacon, another as an apostle, and another as a spiritual mother. Angie unpacks the implications of these greetings, inviting us to consider what they reveal about the possibilities for collaboration between men and women in the church today.

Come be encouraged to live out your faith in practical ways that serve others, reflect God’s compassion, and point people to Jesus.

There is no one size fits all for ministering to women in the local church. We know that women are to fulfill the Titus 2 mandate – emphasizing the importance of women learning from other women as part of the overall health of the church. How do we practically go about doing that in obedience to God’s Word knowing that Titus 2 implies that there is needed time for women to be together and to teach other? How do we cultivate a culture of the humble pursuit of godliness, with women teaching this godliness to one another? 

Hearing from women ministry leaders from a large, medium and a small church, this workshop will give you ideas for how to minister to women in your local church context.
