Ministry is changing fast. Leaders need ongoing formation that fits real life. The Faith+Lead Monthly Roundup curates our latest learning opportunities—courses, conversations, and communities—to support your next faithful step.
Celebrate Women's History Month by exploring the lives of women who shaped the Church by answering God’s call. Throughout the course you will find inspiration in the stories of eight women and discover a roadmap for your spiritual journey. Each narrative will deepen your understanding of your potential, revealing how you can make a significant impact in your everyday life. By the end of the course, you will experience a profound renewal, gaining a stronger sense of purpose and the unwavering conviction to serve the Lord courageously.
Created to bring learners into a deeper understanding of the story that shaped us, Walking the Narrow Road: Milestones in Church History is a panoramic journey through Christianity’s most pivotal moments. The ever-reforming church continues to echo with the impact of its historical movements of change: from the martyrdom of early Christians and the formation of the early creeds to the Great Schism, the Reformation, and beyond. Gain practical insights into how the ancient creeds can enrich your spiritual life and discover what it means to be part of the great cloud of witnesses, watching and participating in God’s ceaseless activity in our ever-changing church.
Go from feeling unsure about living out your faith at work, to feeling confident and excited as you learn how to partner with God in your work. Through expert instruction, spiritual practices, and new skills, you’ll find ways to authentically experience God in your work and bless others in natural, low-pressure ways. In Work as Worship, you’ll develop ways of looking at your work as a calling, rather than something that exists outside of your faith.
As increasing numbers of congregations become lay-led by choice or necessity, we need leaders equipped to respond to God's call in new and faithful ways. Learn skills for engaging Scripture in preaching and teaching, tools for managing congregational finances and councils, and ways to provide effective spiritual care with healthy boundaries in this 12-month journey to grow as a faithful and effective lay leader.

Leave with the confidence to recognize and appreciate where God is at work in your story and others. To join this workshop and access more resources, become a Faith+Lead member today.
