In a world that constantly measures our worth by achievement, appearance, productivity, and gifting, it is easy to lose sight of who we truly are. This workshop explores what Scripture teaches about our deepest identity - not as women defined by what we do, but as beloved daughters of God. Together we will look at 1 John 3:1-3 and discover how rooting our identity in Christ brings freedom from comparison, performance, and insecurity. You’ll leave encouraged to live from God's love rather than striving to earn it.
Ever thought of Jesus’s twelve disciples as the first “team-based ministry team?” If Jesus can use impulsive Peter, the big personalities of the “Sons of Thunder,” as well as a doubting Thomas, He can use women today with a similar range of personalities and quirks, of competitive spirits as well as calm presences. As a leader, how do you choose, train, and guide women for the team-based approach Jesus used ? Whether you are beginning a team from scratch, inheriting a long-standing one, or wondering what a healthy team even looks like, please join us as we discuss ways to begin, start over, or even improve your present ministry team.
Does your women’s ministry rely on the same 5-10 women to lead, serve, and volunteer? If you are ready to broaden involvement but aren’t sure where to begin, this session is for you. Together, we will explore practical strategies for helping women discover their spiritual gifts, identify their natural talents, and connect those strengths with meaningful opportunities to serve and engage. You will learn how to intentionally build programming, leadership pathways, and training opportunities that invite women to participate and thrive. Leave with fresh ideas and actionable tools to cultivate a culture where every woman can find her place, use her God-given gifts, and become actively engaged in the life and ministry of your church.
Women’s ministry is not confined to Bible studies, church events, or the walls of a building. As women redeemed by Christ and sent into the world, we are called to live faithfully wherever God has placed us. This workshop will explore how the gospel compels us to engage our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and communities through evangelism, mercy, and missions.
Grounded in Scripture and an understanding of God’s sovereignty, we will discover that mission is not reserved for a select few but is the ordinary calling of every believer. Together, we will consider how God uses faithful women to proclaim the good news, demonstrate the compassion of Christ, and participate in His mission to make disciples among the nations.
Through biblical teaching, thoughtful discussion, and practical application, women will be encouraged to engage their heads with truth, their hearts with compassion, and their hands with intentional action as they seek to live on mission where they live, work, and play.
Let’s face it, this topic will either induce fear or invite freedom. It all depends on your approach. We will explore the beauty of partnership in the gospel that God has ordained for men and women to work together in the context of the church in a complementary fashion. Our time together will provide a biblical framework as well as practical tips. We invite you to bring your questions, concerns, and curiosity as we explore this topic in a refreshingly real fashion.
Are you starting a Women’s Ministry from the ground up? Maybe it’s time to revitalize a Women’s Ministry that has lost its way. Either way, it is always a good idea to get back to the basics. This workshop will give the “why” and the “how” of Word-based, relationally driven Women’s Ministry with the aim of strengthening your whole church. And because it is never good to be alone, we will also share practical tips and tools to encourage you towards a team-based approach to life-giving leadership.
Like all great building projects, the world runs on the wisdom of its Architect. The Bible tells us that the universe—its foundation, inner workings, and relationships—is a carefully ordered place designed for humanity’s good and God’s glory. Too often, however, we attempt life based on our own understanding. This brings chaos, confusion, and consternation. Yet the Wisdom foundation that undergirds the world is so strong, not even the selfish folly of man could destroy our Creator’s peace-filled intentions.
To become wise, we must respond to Wisdom’s call—to dwell in Wisdom’s house. Proverbs is full of practical wisdom on everyday living. Scripture teaches that Christ Himself is our wisdom—our way back to understanding how to build and live as the Architect intended. Those who meditate on the wisdom of Christ will find themselves living in Wisdom’s house once again. You will be refreshed and able to bring life to those around you—just like Christ who breathed life from its start.
Scripture is full of one generous and welcoming invitation after another. In Wisdom’s Call, K. A. Ellis shows us how to claim the asset of wisdom and invites us to experience Jesus Christ—the Wisdom on which our world rests. Ellis calls us to live in God’s magnificent world as people who are wise.
