As Innovation3 approaches I’m looking forward to hearing from a handful of the most innovative female Christian leaders we can gather all in one place as Dallas hosts the Leadership Network’s Innovation3 Gathering! Since, I’ve been invited to live blog the event along with Tony Morgan and Carlos Whittaker, you’ll hear more details soon. But for now, I want to focus on the amazing list of female Christian leaders coming to Innovation3.
From Nancy Ortberg, founding partner of Teamworx and author of Looking for God, and Unleashing the Power of Rubberbands, to Laurie Beshore, Pastor of Outreach Ministry at Mariners Church that engages over 6000 volunteers in service to the poor and needy in Orange County, CA and around the world, you’ll learn from and interact with some very sharp women, all in one place, the Innovation3 Gathering!
In addition to Nancy and Laurie, you’ll meet:
- Bambi Encarnacion, Director of The Encore Ministry at First Evangelical Free Church, Fullerton, CA
- Missy Hannon, Executive Pastor and Director of The God Network at Living Hope, Seattle, WA
- Jennifer Lefforge, Experience Architect at Irving Bible Church, Irving, TX
- Linda Slaton, Release Pastor at Fellowship Bible Church, Little Rock, AR
- Teresa McBean, Director of Recovery Ministries at NorthStar Community Church, Richmond, VA
- Dawn Nicole Baldwin, CEO of Aspire One
- Anne Jackson, Author and Pastor at Cross Point Church, Nashville, TN
- Wendy Ferrin, Women’s Ministry Director at Salem Alliance Church, Salem, OR
- Claudia McGuire, Women’s Ministry Director at Chase Oaks Fellowship, Richardson, TX
- Sibyl Towner, Spritual Formation Pastor, Willow Creek, Chicago, Ill
You will also network with other great women leaders, like Sherry Surratt (Director of Women’s Initiative at Leadership Network, previously Central Support Pastor at Seacoast Church), for example, who can inspire and challenge your ministry.

Looking forward to I3 and meeting up with you, Sherry Surratt and other amazing women leaders! I am in for Monday’s dinner, wouldn’t miss it. Just found out that the awesome Dawn Carter is coming too – we’ve been in an online group together for 3 months… feels like we’re best buds already and now we have this wonderful opportunity to meet irl. Yay I3!
I am a sponge. I cannot wait to learn from these women. Thank you for facilitating this learn-fest and opportunity to be challenged by such a diverse and beautiful bunch. (I haven’t even met them yet, but just know they are beautiful…. )
and @mbstockdale, you are embarrassing me.
On opportunity like this doesn’t come along that often, to get to gather with sharp, creative women influencers, all focusing on innovative ideas and how to use them to impact their world for Christ! Can’t wait for dinner on Monday. I LOVE Twitter, btw, and if you’re not doing it, get going! http://www.twitter.com. Cynthia, I’m looking forward to getting some time with your brilliance. Thanks for this wonderful blog!
For any woman who will be in the Dallas area on Monday, Jan 26, join us for dinner. We will have FUN!
Great thoughts. I look forward to hanging out with you at Innovation3. Do you have to be female to attend the TweetUp dinner on Monday night? I have a few fellas that would love to come along. Also, there is a Tuesday lunch TweetUp, too, that some are doing. See you soon.
