While each conference offers a revolving schedule of special guest speakers and musical guests, the key roster of speakers (a.k.a. the porch pals) has included Sheila Walsh, Luci Swindoll, Patsy Clairmont, and Marilyn Meberg. Barbara Johnson was an original member of the speaker team until illness forced her to leave the tour. Barbara Johnson died in 2007 after a six-year battle with cancer.(http://www.barbaraspatulajohnson.org/barbara/updates/07-02-07/) Thelma Wells also served as a main speaker until 2006.

Women of Faith holds between 25-30 conferences annually in arenas across North America. The events typically begin Friday and continue through Saturday. In past years, in most cities, a “Pre-conference” event was held during the day on the Friday of the conference. In 2010, the events were expanded to include the former "pre-conference" resulting in a 2-day event.

Each year’s content is organized around a theme. (See "History" below.) The events include messages from speakers, concerts by popular music artists, original dramatic presentations, and times of worship. Women of Faith events are noted for their humor and compelling stories. 85% of attendees come in groups of ten or more. Attendees often come year after year; a number attend more than one conference in a given year.

Although the conferences are for women, a small number of men may be found at any given event (sometimes they are bus drivers for the groups or husbands, boyfriends, sons, and brothers of attendees). Bot men and women often serve as volunteers who work with Women of Faith event staff in various capacities. Volunteers receive free event registration for themselves or to share.
