The Inaugural Annual Meeting of the United Women in Faith Horizon Texas Conference will be on November 9, 2024, in Abilene, TX. 

The voting body of the Annual Meeting shall be composed of members in attendance from United Women in Faith organizations existing within the bounds of the Horizon Texas Conference.

Please join us! Your vote counts!

We have a block of rooms at two new hotels in Abilene

1. Home2 Suites by Hilton Abilene Southwest: 3650 Cedar Run Road Abilene, Texas 79606; Phone: 325-480-1800
2. TownePlace Suites Abilene Southwest: 3838 John Knox Drive Abilene, Texas 79606; Phone:325-999-9429

 NOTE: The cost is the same at both hotels - King $109, two Queens $119. If you see the term “C/O” on the form, it means the day to check-out

3. The hotel agreement lists these dates: November 7, 8, 9. You may choose any combination of nights from 1to 3 night. (Best to book as many nights as you anticipate that you will want. It will be easier to cancel a night than to add a night later.)

4. The hotels accept tax exempt forms. Forms need to be filled out, signed, and presented at check-in.

5. What is the big difference in Home2 and TownePlace? The single rooms are different -- they both have sofas, but Home2’s sofa is a sleeper, so, three could go into those rooms if two attendees are ok with sharing a King-Sized bed.

6. All unreserved rooms will be released on October 25, 2024!!

7. The easiest way to make your reservation and select # of nights is to register online. You select your room, add your payment, and you will be done. But you can call the hotel(s) and make your reservation that way as well.

8. When calling in to make your reservation, use the code UWF or the full name United Women in Faith to get the better rate.

9. Credit Cards are charged upon arrival. A credit card is required to check in.

10. Free breakfast included at both hotels

11. Free cancelation until 24 hours before the reservation

The Horizon Texas Conference UWFaith will continue the tradition of hosting conference events annually such as Mission u, Charter for Racial Justice Events, and Soul Care / Spiritual Growth Retreats / Day Apart. The Horizon Texas Conference United Women in Faith Conference Leadership Team will be responsible for planning and executing these events. Conference officers and appointed leaders (such as Mission u Dean) and their committees will provide leadership for their events.

There will be every effort made to have events that are accessible throughout the conference membership.  There may be repeated events in different locations and times and/or live-streaming an In-Person event. It will be a priority, of course, to make these events accessible to women in all parts of the new Conference.  But the “former/ legacy conferences” will not each have their own events. There won’t be CTC or NTC or NWTC events.  All conference events will be Horizon Texas Conference United Women in Faith Events.

The districts will each be able to create and host their own events just like they have always done. It is important for the district leadership to avoid programing at the same date as a conference event.

Most of what you experience locally will stay the same. We’ll all still be organized for mission, spiritual growth and fellowship. You can maintain all your local UWFaith traditions and participate in District projects and events, and Conference projects and events. You may continue to volunteer at and support your local missions as you have been.

Most of the Districts are going to stay the same - except for a few that will be renamed because of duplicated names (e.g., there are two "East District"s). Most local UWFaith groups will stay in the same District, so you will continue to interact with those District officers for training, with your questions and for inspiration.

Our Conference will cover a larger geographical area so we will have more sisters in our Conference community. The unified Conference will still host Mission u, Racial Justice events, Soul Care events, mission projects, and newsletters. 

Our new conference name is the Horizon Texas Conference.

From the Unification report: The horizon is the boundary separating the sky from the land and sea. Sometimes, we view the horizon as a limiting factor- either physically or in our human understanding.  It can be easy to focus on what is right in front of us, rather than looking beyond. But as believers, our faith carried us past the horizon, seeking something more than what our eyes can see.  Expanding our horizon opens new opportunities for ministry and for creating disciples of Jesus Christ. 

The Naming Sub-Team Committee agreed that keeping “Texas” in the name was crucial and in keeping with the other two Texas Conferences in our jurisdiction.

Here you can see all the current conferences in the South Central Jurisdiction. The three conferences that are unifying are in the white border.

Notice the relative size of the other conferences. We have been used to relatively small geographic conferences. This new larger-area conference will not be the largest conference. This will be an adjustment but the size of our new conference will be similar to others across the country. Think of it this way: our sisterhood will grow!

The new Horizon Texas Conference of United Women in Faith will begin January 1, 2025. 

The first annual meeting of the Horizon Texas Conference will be held on November 9, 2024 at McMurry University in Abilene. The new conference officers will be elected and installed at this first meeting of our new conference. You'll want to be at this historical event!

Yes, we will still be United Women in Faith!

We will now be the United Women in Faith of the Horizon Texas Conference.

The unification will affect all groups and all members within the geographical borders of the new Horizon Texas Conference. 

United Women in Faith welcomes all Christian women into membership, no church membership required. 

The terms of office for all current, or 'Legacy', conference officers will end December 31, 2024. 

The officers elected on Nov. 9, 2024 for the newly organized Horizon Texas Conference will begin their terms on January 1, 2025.
