A free online event for small churches!
Embrace a new a strategy that draws women deeper in relationship, faith, & service.

Effective Women's Ministry doesn't "just happen" in Small Churches!

Yeah, you’re putting events on the calendar, but you dream about a ministry that women are excited to be part of and one that draws them deeper in relationship, faith, & service!

What you really want is to ...

Host outreach events that lead to lasting relationships.

Identify and develop younger women as leaders.

Build authentic community & a safe place for sharing.

Motivate women to get out of the pews & put their faith into action.

Teach Bible Studies that women are excited to join.

Develop an inclusive ministry that reaches across demographics.

Aren’t you tired of spinning your wheels putting on events that leave you feeling deflated?

The best part is: it’s easier than you think!

It’s not about filling a calendar.

It’s about doing the right things, in the right way, in the right order – drawing women deeper.

For one full day, let 29 amazing women show you how to refresh your Women’s Ministry with an INTENTIONAL STRATEGY that you can immediately put into play along with PROVEN IDEAS that work in Small Churches.

No more scrounging through Pinterest finding ideas that only work in big churches.

No more feeling like a failure when only 2 women show up.

No more wondering what to do next.

Whether you are starting a new Women’s Ministry, re-starting a flailing Women’s Ministry, or taking your current Women’s Ministry from good to great, you don’t want to miss this live event!

Meet your host!

Hey! I’m Laurie. I’m a pastor’s wife, speaker & writer, and small church ministry mentor. I help women in small churches go from frustrated & overwhelmed to empowered & confident!

I created this live conference to help you transform the Women’s Ministry in your Small Church.

You’ll learn how to:

Identify & embrace the unique ministry calling of your small church
Understand & apply the ministry strategy Jesus modeled
Enjoy the success of life-changing ministry, right where you’re planted

This conference is like no other!

What makes it so different?

While the typical ministry conference leaves small churches feeling more defeated than inspired, this conference is designed specifically with small church solutions. Each session applies directly to your ministry. No adaptations necessary for smaller budgets, fewer people, or less volunteers. We get it!

While lots of virtual summits are pre-recorded and lack interaction, we are all about connection. Attendees tell us one of their biggest highlights from our live events is the people they meet & the lasting relationships! Join us for Co-Working Strategy Sessions, Coffee Chats w/ the Speakers, and Networking Times. We want to know you!

Anyone can list a bunch of random event ideas to throw on a calendar – but we aren’t aiming for lackluster results typical in most small churches. This conference will equip you with a focused strategy to take your Women’s Ministry from flailing to fantastic, using a focused strategy and actionable next-steps to draw women deeper in relationship, faith, and service.

Here's what past conference attendees have to say:

My head is so full of what I learned over the weekend, I am practically dizzy. Thank you so much for the professional and well-planned conference. It is undoubtedly the best conference I have ever attended.

I’ve been sharing with everyone and anyone that will listen about the phenomenal conference you and your team put on. I can’t wait for next year!!!

Such a well done event and truly a blessing to me. I didn’t know how much I needed this. Even though it is very late here, I made it to the end last night (1 AM my time) and it was worth it. As all of you in North America were sleeping (hopefully!) I spent my morning off and on in prayer for all of you!

Thank you to Laurie Acker the creator of Small Church Summits for your awesome vision! I don't know how you did it, but this virtual conference had all the energy of a major in-person conference at a 5-star venue! It was amazing!

Great conference! I liked the speakers, format, everything. I had no intention of watching all day, but I did! Didn't want to miss a thing!
