Gather to Lead: Empowered to Serve. Equipped to Impact.

Diverse. Gifted. Passionate. United.

This movement was born from a growing need we’ve seen and felt: a space for women in ministry leadership to connect, grow, and lead with boldness and clarity. In a world that often questions or overlooks the leadership of women in the Church, Gather to Lead is our response—a community and a call. We know that when women rise, communities are transformed.

Why now?

Because the Church needs the full expression of the gifts God has given His people—women included. Too often, women lead in isolation, under-resourced and under-recognized. Gather to Lead is about changing that. It’s about creating a vibrant, intentional space to gather, be equipped, and go out empowered to make a real impact.
