MOBILIZING WOMEN TO BE FAITHFUL
AND ROOTED DISCIPLEMAKERS

October 23-24
Dallas, Texas
Our Story
God is raising up women to follow Jesus and make disciples.
But women in urban contexts are often under-resourced and overlooked for the training this calling requires.
The Witness Conference was created to change that.
Hosted by The Woodson Institute and The Urban Christian Woman, this conference equips women, especially those from urban contexts, with biblical truth, practical tools, and a supportive community to make disciples right where God has planted them. Jesus calls us to be His witnesses "to the ends of the earth," and that begins in our own neighborhoods and cities. This year's theme explores how to live out the Great Commission with courage, wisdom, and faithfulness.
When women are equipped to make disciples, entire communities are transformed. Join us as we ignite a movement of women empowered through Christ to seek the flourishing of their churches and cities.
