NAD Women Clergy Retreat

Currently serving in the North American Division are 339 women clergy. These clergy serve as pastors, chaplains, administrators, professors, departmental leaders and other roles. Currently, every union in the North American Division has women clergy serving and sharing Jesus within their borders. 

In recognition of the call God placed in these clergy's life, the Ministerial Association is hosting a division-wide women clergy retreat Monday, October 9 through Thursday, October 12, 2023. With a theme “Connected: Together in Ministry”, this time of refreshing and connection will take place at the Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian in Gaithersburg, MD. Currently accepting registration at the link below, add your name to the list of 58 who are already planning to attend. Registration fee is low because this is a gift to our women clergy, but it goes up on May 31.

Featured speakers are our NAD President Elder G. Alexander Bryant who will speak on connected to the Word of God. Expanding on this topic will be Dr. Elizabeth Talbot, Speaker/Director of Jesus 101. With a focus on Connected to our past, Dr. Michael Campbell, Director of NAD Archives, Research and Statistics will share stories of women clergy in Adventist history. Dr. Karen Cress, President of Culture Shift will provide coaches training in order for us to serve as coaches to one another in our ministry roles.
