We want to create intentional experiences that foster deep, genuine friendships and wide networks of peer support among female pastors.
Salons
Lead Bold Salons are cozy, soul-filling gatherings for women in ministry who need a place to pause, connect, and be poured into. Every salon has its own flavor—different locations, topics, times of day, and vibes—so you can find the one that fits your rhythm and your season of ministry. You’ll enjoy meaningful discussion led by a gifted woman leader. Salons are smaller, curated groups, so seats are limited. The cost is $40. Join one that fits your season and get the soul-refilling connection you need.
