Leadership Forum 2025

Thursday, March 27
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

Leadership Forum is a professional/spiritual development seminar for clergy and laity that kicks off our Annual Gathering each year. This year, the Leadership Forum features Victoria White, managing director of Grants and Awards at Leadership Education at Duke Divinity School. She facilitates capacity building within traditionally marginalized and under-resourced institutions serving pastors and congregations. Victoria regularly speaks, writes, consults and coaches on topics such as wicked problems, design thinking, strategy and sustainability, Christian social entrepreneurship, traditioned innovation, faith-rooted leadership, and holy friendship. She is an ordained pastor within the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and is the author of “Holy Friendships: Nurturing Relationships that Sustain Pastors and Leaders.”

During Leadership Forum, Victoria will lead three sessions on:

  • Why Holy Friendships Matter
  • Holy Friendships and The Work We Are Called To Do
  • Holy Friendships In The Face of Crisis and Change

Registration for Leadership Forum is $25, which includes lunch and a copy of Victoria White’s book, “Holy Friendships.”  Select tickets for “Leadership Forum” on the Annual Gathering registration form.

 

Leadership Forum is made possible in part by CBFNC’s Helping Pastors Thrive ministry.
