48th Annual Woman’s World Conference – February 21-22, 2025

READY

“Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”  –Joshua 1:9

The Woman’s World Conference is a fun, engaging weekend where generations come together to glean more about God’s character and grow in their personal faith. The powerful combination of heartfelt testimonies and fellowship builds friendships and changes lives. We’ll worship, pray, and be inspired as we encounter the empowering and captivating reality of Christ walking with us through life’s ups and downs. Together, we will examine God’s proven faithfulness and learn how to be READY to embrace the twists and turns of our lives.

Held in the Kansas State University Student Union at the end of February, attendance averages 550-600
and represents 125-140 different congregations from 8-10 different states.
