I have written dozens, if not hundreds, of posts related to women’s ministry event planning over the years.
We’ve talked about whether or not you should charge for your women’s ministry events, where you should publicize your events, creative ways to give away door prizes, how to warmly welcome guests, selecting the best theme, finding a speaker, and so much more!
I thought it might be helpful if I compiled the links to every post that relates to planning women’s ministry events in one place.
I’ll do my best to update it as new posts are written.
For those of you looking for a primer on event planning, consider enrolling in the Women’s Ministry Event Planning online course. You’ll find exclusive information (not found on the website), worksheets, and short videos that will take you step-by-step through the whole process.
