Women of the Word Conference
Women of the Word (WOW) Conference is a conference birthed out of our local church's women's ministry. Each year several churches from across New York State and the USA come together for amazing praise and worship as well as to hear inspiring messages from incredible speakers.
Catskill Mountain Christian Center's sole purpose behind hosting WOW Conference is to empower women through practical teachings that enable them to advance the Kingdom of God in their own spheres of life. Every woman has an important part in the Kingdom, and WOW Conference is designed to inspire and equip individuals just like you!
This year we are so pleased to be back 'live and in person'! There will be plenty of space for social distancing, and masks are encouraged. Our pastors, Bob and Nancy Engelhardt, are committed to serving each person's unique situation during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
We are so excited for you to hear from our speakers as they minister from our 2021 theme, 'PEACE' Get ready to encounter Jesus in a personal way!
