Portland LEAD Gathering 2025

Pastors are experiencing a mental health crisis, with symptoms sometimes comparable to PTSD. How do we address the toll of trauma and suffering while leading with strength and grace?

The LEAD Gathering is designed to inspire, equip, and connect ministry leaders in a faith-rooted, science-informed, and relationally rich environment.

Theme: Church & Science: Cultivating Resilient Leaders Together — bringing theology and science together to strengthen leaders for the challenges of ministry today.

- Interactive cohort format (no breakouts)
