Clergywomen Rising: Transforming the Culture in Sacred Workplaces

We will scale a research-based ecosystem approach, aligning values-driven innovation to advance clergywomen's leadership, transforming tall-steeple churches into equitable, resilient, and thriving sacred workplaces.

This initiative tackles systemic barriers that exclude clergywomen from senior leadership in tall-steeple churches. We propose an integrated, ecosystem-based solution: design thinking interventions, an AI-enabled leadership and wellness platform, systemic advocacy for equitable placement and pay, seminary-partnered leadership development, and family systems support. Rather than fixing women, we transform the systems around them - advancing equity, resilience, and sustainable cultural change across denominations and sacred workplaces.
