Scripture: “For we are co-workers, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building.” – 1 Corinthians 3:9
Welcome to the biennial American Baptist Women and Girls Conference! Join sisters from all over the country for a powerful weekend of worship, empowerment, and love. Together, we will explore what it means to build God’s community, both individually and corporately. Expect to grow and connect through daily worship services, engaging Bible studies, dynamic workshops, and heartfelt fellowship.

As people in general and women in particular face the uncertainties, pain, and struggles of these times, we might be tempted to lose hope. Rather than retreating in despair and defeat, we can embrace and follow the words of womanist giant, Sojourner Truth: “I will not allow my life’s light to be determined by the darkness around me.”
Conference Theme: “Empowered by God’s Light, Leading with God’s Love” Scripture: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” - John 1:5 (NIV)
At this pivotal moment, as women leaders, we must “retool” ourselves. The Sojourner Truth Women’s Ministry Conference is designed to assist in this endeavor. Women at all levels of ministry (clergy and laywomen) are welcome! We will focus on leadership development: leadership styles, navigating world and church politics as leaders, economic empowerment, mentorship, and nurturing holistic health (spiritual, physical, emotional, and financial) as we lead. The conference will also include components for teen girls.
