Women in Christian Leadership Advisory Board and Leadership Team

The Women in Christian Leadership Advisory Board and Leadership Team have a passion for the mission and work of Women in Christian Leadership, they possess the highest personal and professional integrity and values, and are thought leaders with strategic insight in their respective fields. 

We steward Women in Christian Leadership with the goal of spiritual transformation. Our prayer is, “May Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven,” as people in our community are changed through our organizational activities.

This calling is birthed—and bathed—in prayer. Our business manual is the living, breathing Holy Spirit—His written and spoken words. What a Guide!

The Holy Spirit is actively involved in every area of the Women in Christian Leadership. God is the CEO and exclusive owner of the organization. We are the stewards of what He has given us, not the owners. This subtle difference changes everything.

The purpose for the advisory board is to provide support and advice regarding the Women in Christian Leadership events and leadership development programs, assist in the development of new programs, and identifies best-practice standards. The Advisory Board and Leadership Team also serve as ambassadors, providing a connection within the community.
