Kelli Hitchman-Craig — a passionate pastor, leader, and advocate for women in ministry.Kelli serves as the Director of Leadership Development and Community Engagement for the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women, but her heart for equipping and empowering others goes far beyond her title. She shares her own journey in ministry, what inspires her to lead, and why women’s voices are essential to the health and future of the church.We talk about how women are naturally gifted in ways that serve the church deeply — with emotional intelligence, strength, wisdom, and a capacity to lead with both grace and conviction. Kelli also highlights the ongoing work to create safer, more supportive spaces for women in ministry, including resources for those who have experienced harm or harassment.It’s a thoughtful and hope-filled conversation about leadership, calling, and the unique gifts women bring to the life of the church.To Find More Information and Resources Kelli shares go here: https://www.resourceumc.org/en/partners/gcsrw/homeLet's Connect! 🌐 Learn more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠revamberlaffey.my.canva.site⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📧 Contact: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@revamberl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📘 Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rev Amber Laffey⁠⁠⁠
