Disciples Women

Women's Logo

Disciples Women’s Ministries empowers each woman to find her voice and live out her call. Kansas Disciples Women (KDW) provides leadership and resources for all local Christian Women’s Fellowship and Disciples Women’s Fellowship groups.

KDW NewsBytes

KDW NEWS BYTES is the monthly newsletter geared towards Disciples women in the Kansas region. This free publication is emailed to all women who attend one of our SpiritFest or fall retreats. It is emailed to all women who have signed up for it or who attend one of our retreats or Spirit Fests. Contact Carla Pearson to be added to the mailing list.

KDW Cabinet

Carla Pearson, Galva Christian Church, is the KDW Coordinator. A lifelong Disciple, Carla grew up in the McPherson First CC where her mother introduced her to Christian Women’s Fellowship. The KDW Coordinator in partnership with the cabinet president assists with the planning of regional retreats and events and keeps us connected with the happenings in the General Church through attendance at annual meetings and the Interregional event every 4 years.

Email Carla Pearson here.

KDW Cabinet is led by a team of elected officers and each officer is elected for a two-year term and may succeed herself once. Each of the five districts in the region sends two representatives. Other members of the cabinet include an ecumenical representative, a young women’s representative, a Church Women United representative, a communications coordinator, and Retreat and SpiritFest coordinators.

Heartland Interregional Conference

Heartland Interregional Conference, held every four years, brings together Disciples Women for fellowship, renewal, and worship. Disciples Women from Indiana, Illinois-Wisconsin, Upper Midwest,
Mid- American, Nebraska, Kansas, Greater Kansas City Regions along with members of NAPAD, Convention, and Convocation attend. 

The 2022 conference has been canceled due to COVID concerns.
The next conference will be in 2026. Stay tuned for more details.

Fall Retreat

The Disciples Women Fall Retreat is offered in October at the regional campground, Disciples Center at Tawakoni, with a nationally known speaker. Both mid-week and weekend options are available. The retreats provide opportunities for workshops, service, fun and fellowship with women from across the region.

SpiritFests

We are excited to announce that Topeka West Side will be hosting our April 22, 2023 Spirit Fest event and Woodridge Christian Church in Wichita will welcome us on May 6 as our second Spirit Fest location.

Gail Goolsby will be the Spirit Fest keynote speaker. Gail holds master’s degrees in Professional Counseling and Educational Leadership. Following the tragedy of September 11, 2001, Gail found herself as the founding principal of the International School of Kabul in Afghanistan.  The how, when, and why of her journey is part of her book entitled, “Unveiled Truth.” 

Gail and her pastor husband Michael live in south central Kansas and have been married over forty years.  Her story is one of passion and commitment and you are encouraged to make plans now to attend.

If you would like a signed copy of Gail’s book sent directly to you, please contact Carla Pearson at [email protected].  The cost of the book including postage is $16.00.  Order your copy today!

Blessing Boxes

February 2023 Blessing Box Calendar

For 60 years, Disciple Women ministries have expressed their gratitude to God through the Blessing Box ministry. For those who participate, it is a spiritual discipline more than a financial one. It helps keep a focus on gratitude to God and on the responsibility to share blessings with others.

Kansas Christian Home

DWF groups across the region are supportive of Kansas Christian Home, providing crafts for the annual fall bazaar, and giving gifts to residents.

Human Trafficking Awareness

Human trafficking is a growing problem in the United States, and in Kansas small towns and cities are not immune. Kansas Disciples Women are committed to breaking the chains of victims one link at a time. If you see suspicious activity, please call the hotline: 888-373-7888.
