Events

The BAD Women in Ministry Conference is designed to celebrate and empower Bold, Anointed, and Dedicated women who have answered God's call to ministry, regardless of the obstacles they may have encountered along the way. It’s a gathering for women who are not content to remain stagnant, but are seeking to deepen their relationship with God, expand their skills, and fulfill the unique ministry vocation God has prepared for them. 

The Friday Worship & Preaching Experience opens the BAD Women in Ministry Conference weekend with intentionality, creating sacred space for spiritual alignment, encouragement, and renewal. This gathering is not a preliminary event. Rather, it serves as a spiritual and theological setting of atmosphere designed to prepare hearts and minds for what will unfold throughout the conference weekend.

Centered on the 2026 theme, “The Future of Ministry is Bold. The Future is Now,” this experience recognizes that women in ministry are already leading, serving, and carrying significant responsibility. The evening is designed not to introduce calling, but to strengthen those who are already walking in it.

Through worship, preaching, and sacred reflection, participants will be invited to affirm the legitimacy of their calling, reclaim confidence where voices have been diminished, realign identity with divine assignment, and receive renewed clarity and courage for present ministry work.

The expectation is not performance or spectacle. Instead, the focus is authenticity, formation, and spiritual activation. Women should leave strengthened, more grounded, and more aligned with what God is requiring in this season.

This moment is not about anticipation; it is about activation.

The future of ministry will be shaped by those willing to stand, speak, and serve boldly. The call has already come. What is required now is the courage to walk in it without hesitation.
