Women of Faith [1] is a Christian global ministry (87 countries) providing digital media, resources and events to encourage and equip women to experience a deeper relationship with Jesus. It has staged non-denominational events across North America. According to the company, its events have been attended by more than five million people in total.

New Life Treatment Centers began staging the events in 1996. Thomas Nelson Publishers purchased a 60 per cent stake in New Life Treatment Centers in 2000, [2] and subsequently transferred operation of the events to its Live Event Management subsidiary. In 2013 Live Event Management's Women of Faith was purchased by the William Morris Agency. William Morris Agency, now WME Entertainment has since sold Women of Faith.

Originally focusing on weekend events, it has also offered Revolve events aimed at teenage girls since 2005 [3] and one-day evening events since 2012. [4]

The theme for the events is changed yearly. The content includes speakers, comedians, music and drama alongside worship and prayer. The organization partners with Food for The Hungry.
