Arizona Women of Faith Ministries

Georgia Owens is the Founder/President/Speaker for Arizona Women of Faith Ministries. She has always had a heart for women and wanted to establish a platform for women sitting in the pews of the church to share their stories.

In 2010 the Lord gave her a vision for ministry.   Later, that vision was confirmed by a prophetic word spoken over her.  From there, Arizona Women of Faith Ministries was birthed by way of Faith Bible Chapel. The very first Women’s Conference in 2014 had more than 200 in attendance.

The ministry formed their corporate status with the State of Arizona in 2015, obtaining a  501 (C) 3 non-profit with the IRS. 

Georgia is married to the love of her life and best friend Michael. They have two children; their beautiful daughter Sharina; and Jerry their always humorous son. They suffered the loss of Jerry in 2020. 

Becoming a licensed Pastor in 2020, God began to open doors for Georgia to minister at several conferences, churches and retreats.

In her very real, sometimes raw and emotional way; her speaking engagements have allowed her to provide hope, healing and restoration to women.

Georgia’s favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”, and Luke 7:47 "Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven - for she loved much.
