Latina Leadership Programs
Latinas are leading throughout the church in big and small ways, yet there are few programs that help them develop their leadership capacity in light of Christ. In response to this need, we developed a signature program in Christian Leadership through the Instituto Maria y Marta. That program has now been adapted for a younger audience of rising Latina leaders. Find information about both programs below.
Latinas Arise
Latinas Arise is a five-book series whose purpose is to provide young Latina leaders with biblical knowledge and indispensable tools to begin walking the wise path of following God’s calling. The hope is that on this journey, each participants discovers the purpose for which she was created.
The books, which include reflection questions, can be used for personal growth or in a small group setting. They are written in English and can be purchased here.
Nissi Frutos, young adult facilitator, will be starting a Latinas Arise small group in August. Contact her if you are interested in joining.
For further information, reach out to Mónica Tornoé, Director of Latino/a Programs.
