SAVE A DATE FOR THE 2025 CONFERENCE!
Planning for our 2025 conference is firmly underway.
We are so grateful to God for our team of committed, enthusiastic women who serve on our Committee.
In 2024, God grew the Conference into 2 locations (Kenilworth and Somerset West). Tickets sold out quickly and both Conference locations were fully booked a month in advance!
We're excited to offer the same this year.
SAME CONFERENCE - 2 DATES - 2 LOCATIONS.
Please join us in praying for the 2025 Conference as planning continues. We can do nothing without our awesome God, in whose name we serve.
"Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labour in vain." - Psalm 127
Please pray that God would use the 2025 Conference to draw women to Him. Pray that we would all know Him better and love Him more as a result of our time together at the Conference enjoying:
- Vibrant praise and worship
- Solid bible teaching
- A time of connection with women from all across Cape Town
Please keep your eyes on our website and social media pages for regular updates.
Please also start praying about who you can invite to join you at the Conference this year. Bookings open on our partner booking site, Quicket, from 1st June.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. - Ephesians 1: 3
We hope to see you there!
All systems go!
With only a week to go until our first REACH WOMEN Conference of 2024, it's all systems go!
Our Somerset West music team is hard at work practising this morning.
Each REACH WOMEN Conference location has a different set of musicians. These women have been brought together from various local REACH churches to use their God-given gifts to serve by leading the music.
Vibrant Praise and Worship is a vital part of the Conference with much thought and prayer going into choosing songs that serve the preaching of God's word and point us all to Christ and the gospel.
"Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." - Colossians 3: 16
We are looking forward to an amazing time of praise and worship at both locations.

The first Conference in Somerset West is sold out!
2024 is proving to be a big year for the REACH WOMEN Conference.
Since its inception, the Conference has been hosted at St James Church in Kenilworth.
However, last year the Conference was flooded with bookings and “burst its banks” selling out all 900+ tickets with many women left stranded.
A time to grow!
After much prayer and consideration the REACH WOMEN Committee decided to open a second venue for the Conference from this year.
The second venue that was chosen for both its size and location was Christ Church Somerset West.
So, on Saturday 17th August the first of two REACH WOMEN Conferences will be hosted there.
- Same Conference - Two Dates - Two Locations
Incredibly, last weekend with 4 weeks still to go, the tickets were sold out for the Somerset West venue!
What’s more incredible, is that the way tickets continue to sell, it looks likely that the Conference will REACH 1,300+ women across both venues this year. These women will come from churches right across greater Cape Town. These are women of all ages, stages and walks of life.
Exciting times!
These are very exciting times as we witness God growing this Conference for His kingdom and glory!
Please join us in praying:
-
For the women that will attend - that the Holy Spirit would do His work of challenge, conviction and comforting, as God’s Word is preached.
-
For Alison Eloff - our speaker at both venues - as she prepares her talks from 1 Thessalonians entitled “Ready and Waiting”.
-
For the Conference Committee, chaired by Hayley Tubman, as this team plan the final details.
-
For all the volunteers assisting with various elements at both venues. That they would be encouraged as they serve.
"We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers." – 1 Thessalonians 1: 2
Get ready to join us - but don't wait to book!
Our theme for the 2024 REACH WOMEN Conference is READY AND WAITING!
We're so excited to be exploring passages from 1 Thessalonians with our speaker, Alison Eloff.
The Bible has a lot to say about being ready as we wait for Jesus's return.
But waiting can be hard! How do we stay focussed on our Kingdom mission while we wait? How do we remain steadfast ambassadors for Christ, when the world is pulling us in so many different directions? How do we not lose heart and give up?
Come and join us for a morning of solid Bible teaching, vibrant praise and worship and stories of grace as we hear from God in His Word about what it means to be READY AND WAITING!
Get ready to join us - but don't wait to book!
This is a big year for the REACH WOMEN Conference as we have added a second venue.
SAME CONFERENCE - TWO DATES - TWO LOCATIONS
We are keen to REACH as many WOMEN as we can with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Tickets are selling fast ... please don't delay in booking! We are limited to 350 tickets at the first location (Christ Church Somerset West) and 950 tickets at the second location (St James, Kenilworth).
Do you have questions?
If you have any questions, please have a look at our website. We've tried to answer as many of the frequently asked questions about the Conference HERE.
Get ready, wait and pray!
Invite your friends to the REACH WOMEN Conference, book your tickets and then countdown the days. And while you wait, PRAY ...
... pray that God would use this Conference for His Kingdom and glory.
What to expect at the 2023 conference?
The REACH WOMEN Conference is an annual Conference for women that takes place in Cape Town, South Africa.
The Conference seeks to REACH WOMEN with the gospel of Jesus Christ - the focus is solid Bible teaching, vibrant praise and worship and connection with other women and their stories of grace.
How long, O Lord?
Do you ever find yourself despairing at the state of the world? Life around us seems so broken, both on macro and micro levels.
We see corruption, greed and injustice in our government and social systems. But, we also see mess and brokenness in our homes and relationships.
Our world is crying out for answers! It's easy to find ourselves asking where God is in it all?
Seeking answers from the book of Habakkuk
Habakkuk is a book of the Bible that asks that exact question - “How long, O Lord?”
At the REACH WOMEN Conference this year, come expecting to hear from God in His Word, as we explore His answer to that cry.
Watch this little video to find out more about what to expect:
Conference speaker
Our speaker this year is Jo Taylor. Jo studied theology at George Whitfield Bible College, obtaining a BTh and joining the team at St Stephen's Bible Church in Claremont.
Jo is passionate about teaching the Bible and we're excited to have her as our 2023 Conference speaker.

What does the R60 ticket price include?
If you're been following our advertising campaign since we launched earlier this year, you'll hopefully have picked up that the 2023 Conference is a bit different.
In an attempt to keep the ticket price as low as possible, we've gone "back to basics".
We hope you'll agree that R60 is a bargain price for a full morning Conference!
So, there isn't going to be a goodie bag like in previous years, with a packed lunch etc. However, we are supplying the following:
Our delicious brownie is being supplied by the amazing team at Khayelitsha Cookies.

8 weeks to go ...
Excitement is mounting! The REACH WOMEN Conference is only 8 weeks away. It's taking place on Saturday 19th August at St James Church in Kenilworth, Cape Town.
The conference has a long and beautiful history. Behind it all, is the desire to create an inspirational platform for women to sing together, for women to teach the Bible to women, for women to hear stories of how God is at work in women's lives, and for women to connect with women.
This year, that desire hasn't changed! We're looking forward to a wonderful morning of praise and worship, hearing from God in His word and sharing stories and connection.
Some things change, some stay the same!
There are some changes to the 2023 conference. The changes are happening behind-the-scenes, particularly with regards to the "scaffolding" that supports the conference.
These changes are being made thoughtfully, with the conference's longevity and sustainability in mind.
Basically, there's a lot that goes on behind-the-scenes to make this conference happen. The RWC Committee wants to make sure that we can keep the conference going for as many years as God allows.

Please join us in prayer!
Please pray especially that God's name would be exalted in all that we do. We want His kingdom's growth and glory to be at the heart of the conference.
Join us in praying that God would use the REACH WOMEN Conference to REACH WOMEN with the hope of the gospel, as our hearts cry out in these days, "How long, O Lord?".
