Women Church Leaders' Retreat
Women’s Leadership in the Church: Ongoing Challenges and Unspoken Joys
Monday, August 16 (4pm) to Wednesday, August 18 (1pm) at Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center (Farmington, MN)

This retreat will focus on theological issues and practical strategies to embolden authentic and embodied leadership in the church today.
