This 6th annual Summit is an opportunity to spend a weekend connecting with other women who want to influence and empower the lives of women worldwide by investigating and becoming involved in meeting global needs of women.


The two-day Summit schedule offers six opportunities to participate in investigative sessions led by local, national and international women who are actively involved in missions and the issues of women. Over 20 sessions will be offered covering issues such as human trafficking, everyday justice, gender equality, public policy, Christian leadership development, economic development, and issues of health, safety, and spirituality that affect women everywhere.

The Summit provides opportunities to experience powerful worship, meaningful dialogue, hands-on ministry projects, and transformative friendships.  The Summit also includes a marketplace featuring women-produced, fair-trade products, viewings of women-focused media, an internet café, an interactive prayer experience, and information about ways to connect with Global Women ministries throughout the world.
