To inspire and support women in Christian ministry
Working under the support of Ridley College, the Ridley Women network has developed three core groups that encourage and equip women in their Christian ministry.
In addition to the conferences, regular ongoing activities focus on building up preaching and writing skills through lively, interactive group sessions and networks.
Whilst the sessions are mostly based in Melbourne, women from across the country and beyond are encouraged to participate. Virtual attendance and recordings of sessions are available for some activities. The sessions are also recorded with links to relevant resources.
The Evangelical Women In Academia network connects, inspires and develops female theological students, lecturers, tutors, and ministry practitioners in the church and world. We hold a conference in Melbourne, Australia bi-annually in which women from across the world gather.
The next EWA conference will be held in 2027 at Ridley College.
Theme: coming soon!
Keynote Speakers: also coming soon!
A Call for Papers will be advertised soon.
The Ridley Women’s Writing Network is open to any Christian women students, graduates, or others who are committed to improving their writing skills with the goal of the publication in popular or academic forums. The goal of the Network is to encourage women’s writing for publication. We are currently running regular face-to-face and virtual writing groups. A writing retreat is held bi-annually.
For more information on writing groups contact Diane Hockridge.
The Women’s Preaching Network is an initiative of the Ridley College Preaching Conference Committee. The Women’s Preaching Network has two aims:
To identify, train, support, and provide opportunities for new and potential women preachers.
To encourage, extend, and resource regular and experienced women preachers in Melbourne.
For more information on the preaching network contact Hannah Craven.
The initiatives are supported by many female volunteers. To be involved, please email the College, info@ridley.edu.au.
Please note that the networks have been created as initiatives to support women, therefore only women may participate/become members of the various networks.
