Annual Women’s Conference




WBC Annual Women's Conference
August 26-28, 2022





From Our Servant Leader

The Women’s Ministry of Westside Baptist Church, “Women In Pursuit of God”, cordially invites all ladies to our upcoming, I Can Only Imagine Women’s Annual Conference.  Our theme this year is “No Weapon Formed Against Me.”

We are trusting and believing that after the conference, the ladies in attendance will be more spiritually equipped to handle the daily challenges of singleness, marriages, mental and physical health, finances, family matters, and much, much more. 

Below you will find information that outlines our sponsorship packages, vendor information, and other conference details. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Ms. Jackie Massey or Ms. Sony Simon. As always, we appreciate your support to the community. 

Sincerely,
Cyndi Rodgers
Servant Leader
Westside Baptist Church Women’s Ministry
