Women’s Events
Please note: Cyndee books a limited number of women’s ministry events each year as her focus is on Leadership Training (click to learn more).
An experienced keynote and workshop leader, Cyndee embraces the opportunity to teach women face-to-face. Anchoring each talk in God’s Word, Cyndee skillfully shares personal stories and lessons learned with a mixture of tenderness and humor. Cyndee’s training as a former elementary education teacher and Bible study leader, combined with her background in theater, ensures women will be engaged from start to finish.
As a veteran women’s ministry leader, Cyndee offers a unique sensitivity to the varied levels of biblical literacy and spiritual maturity in a group, gently leading women deeper into God’s Word and challenging them to live a life devoted to serving Christ.
Women enjoy Cyndee’s interactive style, passion for the Word, and dedication to delivering a message that points women to Christ. You can find Cyndee’s Statement of Faith here.

Interactive Workshops
Sharing Your Faith Story
Your women have some amazing stories of God’s faithfulness, but they may not know how best to share them in a way that glorifies God. Cyndee provides practical steps for writing and sharing our stories as modeled for us through God’s Word. During this interactive experience, your women will prepare testimonies of what God has done in their lives to share with others.
Decoding Deception
Paul warns believers in 2 Timothy 2:3-4 that some will not endure sound teaching and will be drawn to false teachings. This interactive workshop provides the opportunity to decode the deception as attendees practice the learned discernment skills.
Living Out Your Faith Through Social Media
Would other people know you’re a Christian just from looking at your social media profiles? Cyndee encourages attendees to be a light in the darkness through practical tips.
Overcoming Bible Study Barriers
Cyndee breaks through Bible study barriers and equips women to regularly engage in God’s Word using her inductive-style Bible study method – READ (record, explore, apply, and do).
Women’s Ministry Training for Leaders and Teams
As a veteran women’s ministry leader (20+ years) actively serving in her local church, Cyndee loves to share what she’s learned with leaders. You’ll find a complete list of Women’s Ministry Leadership topics here.
Consider bringing Cyndee in for BOTH Leadership Training and a Women’s Event.
