About

Influential Women's Forum

Influential Women’s Forum is a community of women who understand and embrace the powerful impact of women, at every age.

~influence~

The capacity to have an effect on the character, development or behavior of someone or something.

Influential Women's Forum exists to inspire and encourage women to be the best influencer she can be in every area of influence and in each season of her life.

By embracing the design features God has given all women, and incorporating her own unique personality and talents, we believe each woman will enhance her life, her family and her community.

Similar to artwork on display, influence is seen and experienced beautifully in young mothers raising their children to grandmothers passing on wisdom. It is seen in women educating the young and equipping people in the marketplace; in women creating artwork or music; in women collaborating and discovering inventions; in women embracing godly principles and embodying fearless faith; in women celebrating what is good, true and right while modeling grace for disagreements, moments or seasons of loss, challenges, or hurt.

Influential women exhibit nobility and character and beauty, regardless of what life has to offer. We understand the power of being a woman, in each area of influence! The Influential Women’s Forum is here to amplify, unify and fortify all that is good to help each woman become who God intended her to be. We welcome you to join us!

Statement of Beliefs

Our Beliefs

  • We believe God has called and equipped His church, to engage and impact every area of influence including: the family, the church, business, government, education, media, arts and entertainment.
  • We believe godly women, His precious and gifted daughters bring wisdom, understanding, knowledge and insight to each area of influence and help create an atmosphere for human flourishing in every setting.
  • We believe God is a loving and relational union, who consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and chose to create men and women in His image as life-giving, sexual beings.
  • We believe by God’s design, men and women are equally valuable but intentionally different. They are created with male and female natures, to reflect unique aspects of God’s character and nature (Gen 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
  • We believe sexuality, our male or female nature, is not merely expressed physically. We are designed to be whole people, expressing our sexuality through all five aspects of who we are – physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual.
  • We believe marriage, as defined by God, is a sacred covenant relationship between one man and one woman in an exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Gen 2:18-25).
  • We believe children are a blessing and a gift from God. They are a natural outworking of a life-giving marriage. We believe building families through either childbirth or adoption reflects God’s divine design for human flourishing
  • We believe God is the author and sustainer of all life. Therefore, all life is sacred and should be honored and protected. This includes pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death.
  • We believe marriage and family are the central, most vital social institutions upon which successful societies are built and where people, young and old are encouraged to thrive and become who God intended.
  • We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11). We believe complete wholeness cannot occur without the saving work of Jesus Christ, and the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit within the individual.
  • We believe that God is love and therefore every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31).
