Encouragements

The Center for Leadership Excellence and the Commission for the Status and Role of Women are teaming up in the hopes of offering more support for women in ministry in the NC Conference.

As a part of this endeavor, we are sending monthly emails of encouragement and suggestions for how women in ministry can support one another. If you would like to be added to our email list, sign up below. Or, you can check out past Encouragements emails in the archive at the bottom of this page.
