Ministry Leaders’ Intensive
“I wouldn’t know how to start talking to our women about work.”
Maybe you can relate…
You’re in a leadership role at a church and long to see the women of your congregation walk with Christ in every area of their lives, but what they experience during their working hours remains a mystery to you.
You do leadership or organizational development in a nonprofit or parachurch ministry and would like to integrate biblical principles for women’s work and leadership into your existing strategies.
You work at a Christian college or lead an independent women’s group and want to add tools for vocational discipleship to your programming.

Women, Work, & Calling’s Ministry Leaders’ Intensives connect your work developing female leaders to biblical principles and practical tools for vocational discipleship.
What is it?
A 5-month cohort-based experience designed to build a biblical framework for women’s work and leadership. The intensive draws from WWC’s years of experience equipping women for influence in public life and is built around 5 key themes:
Work and the Mission of God: Connect women’s work, in any form, to God’s work in the world.
Gaining Clarity about Calling: Your women hear messages every day about what they should–and shouldn’t–do with their gifts. We’ll help you develop a clear, life-giving understanding of calling, so your women can step confidently into their roles.
Tools to Disciple Women for Work: From cultivating redemptive imagination to growing in godly influence, you’ll gain practical tools to extend the strong foundation you’re already building into women’s work and leadership.
Soul Care for Busy Women: God invites us to walk with him in all of life, but it’s easy to neglect our inner lives on the job. You’ll learn spiritual formation practices to refresh your soul and support the women you serve.
Networks for Flourishing: We long to build connections with like-minded women and gain wisdom for the challenges we face in our roles. You’ll benefit from forming connections with members of your cohort and gain a vision for strengthening relational networks in your community.
