Thank you for helping make "Families of Faith" a success!

Audience

We are glad you chose to visit our site. We would like to personally welcome you, your friends and neighbors to the upcoming conference.

Mark your calendars for April 24th & 25th for Women Walking With God 2009! It will be here before you know it. Our website will be updated this fall with information about our upcoming theme, speakers, and performers. 2009 On-line Registration will open January 1, 2009.

Limited Seating will be available again in 2009. We were nearly at capacity last year, and since we decided not to move to a larger venue, we will have to cut off ticket sales at 800 this year, so get your tickets early!

'Stay Tuned' for our 2009 theme and speakers.

The 2008 Conference was held April 25th and 26th (Friday & Saturday), once again at Northside Church of Christ in Wichita, Kansas. We were blessed with over 750 in attendance from 11 states who enjoyed great speakers, inspirational singing, top-notch entertainment, and wonderful fellowship.

Our 2008 theme was FAMILIES OF FAITH. All of us – teenagers, singles, newlyweds, mothers, grandmothers, widows – have God-ordained roles in our families. We looked at God’s Word to discover how we walk by faith in every situation.

Our speakers were uniquely qualified to help us examine how we walk with God in our family lives.

We were thrilled to have Elaine Denman return from 2007. Elaine has devoted her life to women’s ministries and training Christians to counsel families.

Lynn Jones

The 2008 Conference was an overwhelming success. Here are some sample comments from attendees:

"I think that this whole conference was wonderfully"done," I can't think of anything I would change. You thought of everything."
"The people made me feel very welcome. The speakers were awesome. Entertainment was great and the singing was beautiful. I know I was supposed to be here to hear this message. Thank you so much!"
"I come from a small congregation of just 15 members, so the value of sisters in Christ is very uplifting and encouraging."
