iLEAD 2025

Pastor Nate Widener • January 1, 2025

Inspiring Leaders through Engagement And Development

This will be our 3rd year participating in the iLEAD program and we highly encourage you to come to the plenary sessions on the dates listed below to hear some incredible speakers, completely free with continental breakfast included. Leadership development is crucial in the church. If you’ve been invited to step into a leadership role, say yes! The Lord has work for you to do. If God has given you leadership ability, and you aren’t currently serving in the church, let Pastor Nate, Pastor McDowell, or Michelle Leahy know you’re interested in iLEAD.


All iLEAD sessions start at 8:30 am. Registration is not required, but it does help the hosting church to plan for refreshments. Click on the flier below to register.
