Details

It’s a new day and leadership has never been more challenging, exciting and frustrating. What does the post-pandemic church look like? How will we lean into new opportunities? Where are we headed in this challenging time? What will the ministry look like on the other side? Come to Boise and join our three newest Bishops in the Western Jurisdiction for a time of dreaming, visioning, and strategizing as we write the next chapter together.
The Northwest Leadership Institute’s goals are to gather leaders to think, dream, worship and connect as we together find the path forward. Plan now to be present for this historic exciting time.
We have many options for you to be present. You can be present in-person or you can opt-in to be present online and skip the travel. We will work to make both experiences positive.
I am excited to join you in April for this amazing time.
“You were born for such a time as this.” Esther 4:14
Grace and peace.
