Renew & Lead: A Workship for Ministry Wellness
Saturday, September 13, 2025
9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
King of Prussia, PA
Leadership in ministry is deeply rewarding yet demanding. As part of our Leadership Wellness series, this workship creates a sacred space for faith leaders to engage in spiritual renewal, reflection, and holistic well-being. This day-long gathering will provide clergy and ministry leaders with resources and strategies to nurture their spiritual, emotional, and physical health while deepening their connection to God and their calling. Through presentations, group reflection, and worship, participants will explore spiritual direction as a tool for sustaining leadership, gain insights from experienced faith leaders, and foster meaningful connections with one another.
The featured speaker is Rev. Betty Wright-Riggins, a seasoned spiritual director and mentor to many leaders in ministry. Join us for a transformative experience as we prioritize wellness in leadership!
