Peer Networking

One of the most important aspects of Gathering of Leaders is the vast peer network you establish during by becoming a member.

The time and space lends itself to meaningful conversation, strategic planning, laughter, and vulnerability – all with a group of peers that share a similar journey

Renewed Energy

You need energy to make it through the year of ministry, care, and growth, and Gathering of Leaders cultivates that.

We structure each Gathering so you can get a renewed energy through meaningful teaching, natural conversations, a relaxed environment, and sharing stories that inspire and engage.

Practical Application

It seems like it is always the same old story – attend a conference only to come home with a lot of great ideas, but few ways to implement them.

Gathering of Leaders leverages real life experiences from our clergy members and through peer-learning offers real, practical, and implementable strategies that you can use in your local context.

Hear from Your Peers

Step 1

Be Nominated or Inquire About Membership

Members of Gathering of Leaders are peer nominated, approved by their Bishop, and recognized as thought leaders in their local and national context.

Step 2

Share a Renewed and Vibrant Ministry

Leave your first Gathering feeling inspired and eager to implement what you learned, face challenges, and grow ministries in thoughtful and powerful ways.

Step 3

Establish a Quality Peer Network

When you spend time with fellow thought-leaders you develop relationships that permeate into your daily life and ministry.

Growing the Networks

The Gathering of Leaders has experienced a successful Bi-vocational and Lay Leader Gatherings in the Fall of 2022. We’re excited to connect with these leaders at additional gathering, some of which are already in the planning stages! 

We’re also really excited to have rolled out our new Mighty Networks platform, which seeks to replace the current members-only Facebook page. The Gathering of Leaders on Mighty Networks provides a place for intentional community, resourcing and growth. Come join us here.

HEAR FROM OUR PARTICIPANTS

Reflection on North Carolina – The Rev. Noah Van Niel

St. John the Evangelist, Hingham, MA Often the prevailing narrative of the Episcopal Church (both from within and without) is one of a leaking ship, slowly (or not so slowly) taking on water before it runs aground on the shoals of secularism. As one still relatively new to the priesthood, this does not serve to excite and inspire me for the coming decades of my ministry. But Gathering of Leaders is telling a different story.…

Participant Reflections

Reflection on Albuquerque – The Rev. Hannah Atkins Romero

As the snow began to lightly fall at the Bosque Center, this Houstonian felt like a kid at Christmas. It had been a long time since I had seen snowfall. I headed outside for a walk and was soon joined by a colleague that I had just met but who…

Reflection on Albuquerque – The Rev. Sheldon Hamblin

The Bosque Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico was the venue for the first GOL gathering for the new decade. The Bosque Center was designed to be a place for “Spiritual Renewal.” On many levels this was the ideal place for the Gathering of Leaders as we gathered intentionally focused on…

Reflection on Albuquerque – The Rev. Andrew Van Kirk

Lots of the extraneous stuff about my first Gathering of Leaders in Albuquerque was excellent: the food, the beautiful snowfall over the Rio Grande, the retreat house. But the real blessing was the opportunity to meet with and learn from other clergy from around the church — and not just…
