How to Host a Women’s Conference in Your Church: 4 Easy Steps


Conferences are great opportunities to learn from speakers as they share biblical insights, wisdom, and unique life experiences. But depending on when and where the conference is held, it may be impossible for you to attend.

That’s why Faithlife brings the best conferences right to you.

Join Elyse Fitzpatrick as she teaches you how to overcome what’s been holding you back from experiencing true joy in your Bible studies. In her virtual conference, Women Delighting in the Word, Elyse reveals how God’s Word is a love story, and every chapter is a scene that speaks of God’s eternal love for you, as a woman. Each section of the Bible—the Law, history, poetry, and the Epistles—points to his love and the good news of redemption through his Son.

This is a great event for small groups! So here are four easy steps to hosting it for your family and friends:

1. Purchase a family or small group streaming license.

Purchase a license for your family or your small group. If you’re not involved in a small group, it might be the perfect event to start one of your own! Or just gather your friends and enjoy learning from Elyse together.

2. Pick any date to watch between now and July 31.

The event already happened, but you can still stream it any time before July 31. That’s plenty of time to pick a date where everyone can join. You can even pause the stream and have times of discussion or build multiple study sessions out of it.

3. Plan a big party—provide food and drinks.

Your small group license is good for up to 25 people, so make it a party!

4. Invite family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and learn about the Word together.

Be sure to plan now because the conference stream will end on July 31!

Elyse Fitzpatrick is a frequent speaker at churches, retreats, and large conferences such as The Gospel Coalition and True Woman. She has an MA in biblical counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary and has authored twenty-three books on daily living and the Christian life. Elyse lives with her husband in San Diego, California.
