One-Day Interactive Forum for Women


This powerful event, designed especially for women with spiritual gifts in leadership, will take place on October 13th near Willow Creek’s South Barrington Campus. Gifted to Lead has been created to address the unique challenges that women face as they lead in the local church. This interactive forum encourages intentional development as you interact with and learn from others who also want to develop and use their God-given gifts on behalf of His work through the local church.

The day will be taught and facilitated by Nancy Beach and Nancy Ortberg. Each brings 20+ years of experience in leadership and teaching within the church. Four distinct sessions combine both teaching and guided dialogue with other women leaders on topics including:


  • Embracing and growing your gifts as a leader
  • Navigating the unique challenges women face
  • Creating a rhythm of life that works for you
  • Learning how women can become advocates for one another

The limited size of this event creates an interactive environment where women can learn and grow from both main stage teaching as well as from one another’s strengths, experiences, and challenges. Our hope is that participants leave not only with new knowledge and skills, but also with a new support network of women leaders and teachers.
