Have you been searching for a women’s ministry conference
that offers encouragement AND practical ideas that work?
You’ve found it!
Unlike other conferences that encourage, but don’t equip,
the Anchored Women’s Ministry Conference does both!
Anchored is for leaders in need of refreshment, inspiration, and connection.
Our speakers serve in their local church, just like you.
We’ve served in the trenches.
We understand the challenges and the joys of serving on the women’s ministry team.
The Anchored Women’s Ministry Conference is for women serving in their local church on the women’s ministry team.
Why anchored?
If we and our ministries are not anchored to Christ and His Word, all of our efforts will be for naught.
Cyndee was amazing. I loved being able to meet other ministry leaders and share information.

Q&A Session
Meet our four workshop leaders:
Shanda Fulbright
Apologetics Teacher, Podcast Host
Shanda Fulbright is a wife, boy mom to three boys, and the host of Her Faith Inspires podcast where she takes cultural issues and tackles them with biblical truth. She is the co-author of Let’s Get Real: Examining the evidence for God with Dr. Frank Turek of CrossExamined.org. She teaches students of all ages Christian apologetics and stresses the importance of biblical literacy as the path to a biblical worldview.
Workshop: Loving God With Your Mind
We live in an emotionally driven culture that emphasizes feelings as the path to knowing truth. Is our relationship with God the same? Do we have to feel God to know Him? Shanda is going to walk you through what it means to love God with all your mind and why it’s important to remember that the heart must follow the head, regardless of what the culture says.
Amanda Goodman
Seasoned Women’s Ministry Leader
Amanda has lived in Charlotte, NC for nine years. She is married to David and they have an 11-year-old daughter named Brianna. Amanda has served in women’s ministry for about 10 years. God has given Amanda a passion for mental health. She is a mental health advocate and a speaker who shares how God has given her a story to share for His Glory.
Workshop: My Story for God’s Glory
We will discuss the importance of sharing your story for God’s glory. How can part of your story help others with their relationship with Jesus? The session will empower women to love and serve all women in the church but focus on those with mental health concerns. It is important to focus on the combination of Jesus and the Word, prayer, therapy, and medicine when dealing with mental health concerns.
Becky Seamon
Women’s Ministry Director, West Cabarrus Church
Becky is a Christian writer and speaker. She has been in ministry for 36 years. Currently, she is the Director of Women’s Ministry at West Cabarrus Church, a Walk thru the Bible National Instructor, and founder and president of High Heels at His Feet, where she gives “Encouraging words for your everyday life from a Biblical Perspective.”
Workshop: How to Keep Going When Ministry is Hard
Sometimes ministry is stinkin’ hard! In this workshop, we will learn how to thrive, not just survive, even on our difficult days. We will unpack the model given by Christ himself. We will also learn practical steps on how to balance ministry and work (without losing your mind!) You will walk away renewed, refreshed, and ready to lead!
Jerijo Cox
Pastor’s wife, Women’s Ministry Director, Concord Baptist Church, Anderson, SC
Jerijo has served as a volunteer Women’s Ministry Director in each of their 3 pastorates over a span of 37 years. She has also served as the Director of the Pendergraph Women’s Ministry at Southern Seminary for 3 years. Jerijo and her visionary team launched and maintain a Women’s Mentoring Ministry (now in its 4th year) which has resulted in numerical and spiritual growth.
How to Launch a Mentoring Ministry in Your Church
Are you thinking of starting a mentoring ministry in your church? Jerijo Cox will share the details of how their church selected, launched, and has sustained their mentoring ministry. You’ll be inspired by stories of the impact it has had on individuals, families, and the church.
Definitely refueled and refreshed me and my team! Thank you so much, Cyndee for allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you to and through this conference!
2019 Women’s Ministry Retreat Attendee
Women’s Ministry Team LeaderHi! I’m Cyndee Ownbey.
Over the years I’ve heard leaders lament the few women’s ministry conferences they’ve been able to find don’t offer what they really need – practical ideas and advice they can tailor to their women’s ministry program.
As a veteran women’s ministry leader (20+ years), I get it. I’ve served in the women’s ministry program in five churches, of varying church denominations and sizes. I understand the unique challenges of women’s ministry.
I’ve longed for someone or something to anchor our team and our ministry to keep us from aimlessly drifting about as we try to figure things out on our own.
Join me as we discover the power of an anchored ministry program!

I hope you’re as excited as I am to gather together with other leaders in person!
I really liked how interactive the sessions were planned. We were given the opportunity to share and discuss our thoughts, fears, and ideas. This process helped me engage more with the other women as well as put the content into practice!
2019 Retreat Attendee
Women’s Ministry LeaderHere’s the truth…
Leading in women’s ministry can feel incredibly lonely.
Very few people understand the challenges of serving such a diverse group (women of all ages and stages) with little or no budget and a team of volunteers.
Come be a part of the Anchored Women’s Ministry Conference where you’ll make real connections with leaders that get it.
