Welcome to the Arkansas Baptist Women Podcast! This year, we are focusing on what it means to be Arkansas Baptist Women! Women who love the Lord, live on mission for the gospel, are trained and equipped to lead, and are sold out to Jesus. In the process, we are unveiling a new look, new names for our events, a new leadership team, and new website pages for our resources. I can’t wait to share all the exciting updates with you!

Network Gatherings

At Arkansas Baptist Women, we want you to know you are valued as a women’s ministry leader. We want to come alongside you and invest in your leadership journey. One way we do that is through Network Gatherings that offer an opportunity for leaders to gather in regional groups to share ideas, discuss strategy, and get to know one another. Join the Network Gathering in your regional area on Thursday, February 8, 2024, and Thursday, October 10, 2024. Learn more and register to secure your spot HERE!

Leadership Collective

Once a year, women’s ministry leaders come together for a special time of training. Leadership Collective is a one-day workshop for women’s ministry leaders in Arkansas. It will occur on Saturday, April 20, at the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. This will be a focused time for women's ministry leaders to receive ministry training as they connect with one another in an interactive setting. Learn more about Leadership Collective HERE!

Arkansas Baptist Women Conference

One of our favorite days is when we gather as Arkansas Baptist Women for Conference. You may notice the new name, but we promise the same great experience as in the past. Conference offers an exciting day for all Arkansas Baptist Women.
