Follow-up

The Developing Female Leaders Group is a 1-year, cohort-based program designed to help women in higher levels of church leadership accelerate their growth to executive-level leaders. This is done through mentorship by seasoned ministry leaders, networking with fellow women in ministry, and learning from some of the country’s most effective church leadership teams.

Apply now to join women leaders from other churches on an exciting journey of growth.

Through the year-long program, we will gather three times at different church locations to learn from their teams and their expression of ministry. This will give you an understanding of the key strategies successful churches use to identify and develop senior ministry leaders.

There will also be online trainings that will train you in key church leadership competencies that are often underdeveloped in women, such as capital fundraising and sermon prep.

Meetup 1 - Nov 5–6, 2019, at Christ's Church of the Valley, Peoria, AZ

Meetup 2 - May 5–6, 2020, at North Coast, Vista, CA

Meetup 3 - Oct 13–14, 2020, at Church of Eleven 22, Jacksonville, FL

This program is specially designed to benefit women leaders who are the primary leaders of their department, ministry, or campus, or those who oversee at an executive level.

Yes, we are accepting only 20 participants in a cohort. To be considered for the program, please click here to fill out a brief application form. We will then get in touch with you to schedule an interview with the program director.

We recommend only one person from a church in a cohort at a time. Cohorts begin every six months, so interested people from your church will get a chance to apply later.

We charge a competitive fee of $4,800 per participant for the entire 1-year program.

This fee covers all three meetups, two online learning sessions, and two coaching calls during the year-long program. It also covers meals at the three meetups.

Unfortunately not. You will be required to arrange for your own transportation and accommodation for all three meetups.

Yes, there will be four follow-ups between the three physical meetups – two online learning sessions with the group and two individual coaching calls with our program director and a mentor.

Our program director, Kadi Cole, is always available to provide guidance. Feel free to send Kadi an e-mail with your queries or doubts.

Yes, we have a Facebook group where participants from each cohort can post updates and share progress. We encourage you to ask your peers for information or offer help.
