Moviegoers will experience firsthand the history and the impact that the Women of Faith events have had on women through exhilarating worship, powerful testimonies, and personal stories shared by incredible communicators since the live events began in 1996.

“Since the beginning, the heart of Women of Faith has been to share real-life stories filled with humor in the midst of the heartache we all experience at times,” says Amy Chandy, who leads Programming for Women of Faith, where she has served for 17 years. “The transparency and authenticity of the women on our stage offer hope that has changed lives across North America and around the world.
