WOMEN OF THE WORD

History
From its humble beginnings in 2002, the annual conference hosted by St. Andrews-Covenant Presbyterian Church has been an exciting adventure, to say the least. We started our first year with 104 brave women in a room designed for 80! It was pure, it was fun, it was crowded!
From there, we moved to Kingston Plantation. Very exciting and much more space, but we had no idea what God had in store! Our years at Kingston saw the addition of an amazing Praise Team, Gift Shop (which funds scholarships), Workshops and world-respected and renown speakers to teach us God's Word. Over the years God has brought together women of all ages, denominations and life circumstances.
In 2008 attendees represented 8 states, 35 cites and 50 different churches, ranging in age from 19 to 90 (literally!) We love to laugh and share this time together.
Our journey has been exciting, but, no matter
where we meet or how many are blessed to come and enjoy the learning and the
fun, it is the same awesome God who designed this fun-filled, exciting,
life-encouraging conference. When looking back over our history, one thing
is clear: Our history is YOU!

2009 brought a new location- the Sheraton Myrtle Beach
Convention Center - which provided plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the
insightful and hilarious Jan Silvious and in 2010, Joanna Weaver, author of
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World. In 2011 we celebrated our 10th anniversary with author and international speaker, Lisa Bevere.
