Connect with women who challenge you to grow and become who God created you to be. Transformation happens at the heart level first and becomes part of your identity when lived out in community. Look below to find or create your group.
For leaders, the most effective community for growth is in the presence of other leaders — where thoughts can be shared, fears expressed and challenges discussed. Great wisdom and insight come when ..."iron sharpens iron" (Proverbs 27:17). To receive notice of the Lifeway Women’s Leadership Forum (November 5-8, 2025) and other events, join our Leaders’ Network.
What: Dr. Ken Pruitt, President, and Dr. Daniel Dapaah, Professor of Divinity, of Leland Seminary will offer a five-session course in Foundational Theology titled Communicating God’s Word. Classes are Wednesdays: January 29, February 25, March 25, April 29, and May 27.

Do you long to be in a community with other ministers’ wives? Our group is for ministers’ wives, including those married to senior pastors, youth pastors, music ministers, seminary professors, and more. Whether you’re a brand new minister’s wife or one who’s been traveling this road for many years, we'd love to share this journey with you. Email Michele to find out about our upcoming ministers’ wives’ gatherings.
Would you like to be more equipped when ministering to the women you lead? One secret to serving well and with longevity is being connected to a group of like-minded women, sharing ideas, and encouraging one another along the way. Meet with other Women’s Ministry Directors for connection and encouragement. Contact Katie to join this group.
Our hope is that you not only discover connection within our Network but that you find the encouragement and tools to connect with women in your neighborhood and community. With that in mind, perhaps you’d like to form a group tailored to your needs and interests. You determine the frequency, type of gathering (lunch, coffee, morning, evening), and content. Below are some ideas that may help in getting started.
Study Groups — Would you like to gather a few women to form a small accountability group as you study the Scriptures? One resource we recommend that is designed for mentoring/small group participation is Flourish.
Book Groups — Reading books and gathering for discussion is an easy way to engage women in community, whether in your church, neighborhood, or workplace.
Connection Groups — Interest-based connection groups can also be a great way to form community. Writing, photography, hiking, lunch bunch, working from home, walking, biking, gardening, interior decorating, fitness, or quilting are all possibilities. Let Michele know if you start a connection group, so we can help you spread the word.
