Equipping Christian Women to Embrace their Calling and Honor God in Life and Work

EPHESIANS 2:10

Working Women Honor God events are for Christian working women in the D.C./Northern Virginia area who desire biblical discipleship, practical guidance, and a trusted community for navigating the intersection of faith and work.

As a Christian working woman myself, I know what it is like to juggle many competing demands. I also know how easy it is for my relationship with God to get compartmentalized into its own category - treated like another responsibility to manage. I’m quick to rely on God in my personal life, yet often look elsewhere for wisdom when it comes to my work.

Yet, over the years, I have seen God lead me, orchestrate things at work, give me vision and drive I never asked for, and redeem broken things in and through my work. This has compelled me to seek God and turn to Him in all my endeavors, but I have found it surprisingly difficult to find biblical guidance, mentorship or a trusted community that could help me navigate this important part of my life.

Friends, if you relate to this, please know that God cares deeply about our work, and He is carrying out His redemptive work on earth in and through it every day. As we discover the wisdom God has given us in Scripture for our work lives and begin to recognize His presence in our everyday work, we start to see His bigger story more clearly. We also discover the joy of participating in His Kingdom work in new and exciting ways. That’s why I’m so thankful to serve with this ministry.

At Working Women Honor God, we aim to equip women to embrace their calling and to honor God in every area of life. Together we explore how to see God more clearly and know Him more fully through the lens of our work.

Each quarterly event includes refreshments, prayer, biblical teaching, and practical encouragement, as we learn from one another. 

Please register to let us know you are coming.

  • Colossians 3:23–24 – Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.

    Ambition is often misunderstood in Christian spaces—either celebrated without discernment or discouraged altogether. Yet Scripture calls believers to steward their gifts faithfully, work diligently, and pursue excellence for God’s glory.

    This session reframes career ambition through a biblical lens, helping women see their skills, opportunities, influence, and aspirations as God-given responsibilities, not self-serving pursuits. Together, we’ll examine how women can steward their calling with wisdom, humility, and trust in God’s direction.

  • Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water…

    In professional environments that reward image management, conformity, and self-promotion, it can be tempting to lead in ways that feel misaligned with our faith. Many women feel pressure to prove themselves, adapt their values, or silence parts of who they are in order to succeed.

    This session challenges women to lead with authenticity grounded in faith, not fear. Drawing from Scripture, we’ll explore what it means to lead with integrity and to embrace leadership that reflects Christ-like character, courage, and consistency—leading from wholeness rather than performance.

  • At the 2026 GO Conference, we will explore what it means to become fully integrated with God and His plan. We will see how, through Jesus Christ, we are being restored day by day; that God is using all of our experiences, our trials, our gifts, and our shortcomings to draw us into a closer, more integrated relationship with Him. But we will also discover how He is using us to reintegrate the world.

    WWHG Workshop:

    Agents of Flourishing: Advancing Vocational Discipleship for Women

    When we step into God’s story, we step into his redemptive mission on earth and become agents of flourishing. This session will unearth the discipleship gap that exists for working women and explore how to equip Christian women to operationalize God’s flourishing through their public lives. By embracing Jesus’ masterful example, living fully integrated in God’s bigger story, we discover what it means to truly live out the good news of the Kingdom of God in all we do.

  • Galatians 1:10 – Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?

    Many working women silently wrestle with insecurity—measuring themselves against others, over-functioning to earn approval, or shrinking back out of fear of disappointing people. 

    This session invites women to rediscover God-rooted confidence - helping you break free from people-pleasing and step into confidence rooted in who God says you are. Through Scripture and practical reflection, you’ll gain clarity around the patterns that undermine confidence and learn how to live and work for God’s approval—not the approval of others.

The Working Women Honor God ministry is hosted by Burke Community Church and is open to women in the D.C./Northern Virginia area. Jessica Cabrera is a member of Burke Community Church and is the WWHG ministry leader and teacher. Feel free to visit the WWHG page on the BCC website here.
