The Lead Bold Pastors' Collective is a one-day event created specifically for female pastors serving in the local church to connect and find a moment of rest. Whether pastoring in the Bay Area or beyond, you are invited to a safe and restorative space for honest conversations and authentic relationships.
We’ll learn from vital, respected voices in pastoral ministry, including keynote speaker Dr. Miriam “Mimi” Dixon, a leader in the field of Christian spiritual formation, drawing from more than three decades of faithful pastoral leadership in a single congregation, and Rev. Dr. Christine Youn Hung, a dynamic leader in denominational ministry and racial justice.
We welcome all women in pastoral roles on a church staff, whether or not their title is “pastor.” Consider making this investment in you, your leadership and your church, by joining us for this impactful day!
