iLEAD 2025

This will be the 3rd year St. Peter's will be participating in the iLEAD program with other local LCMS churchs, and we highly encourage you to come to the plenary sessions on the dates listed below to hear some incredible speakers, completely free, with breakfast included. Leadership development is crucial in the church. If you’ve been invited to step into a leadership role, say yes! The Lord has work for you to do. If God has given you leadership ability, and you aren’t currently serving in the church, let Pastor Nate, Pastor McDowell, or Michelle Leahy know you’re interested in iLEAD.

All iLEAD sessions plenary sessions start at 8:30 am

Registration is not required, but does help the hosting church plan for food. Click the flier to register.
