When She Leads is an active community of women in ministry leadership. Knowing women contribute to high levels of church leadership, we want women to feel encouraged, equipped, and connected. Our podcast, conferences, zoom gatherings, resources, and our all-new care and coaching team are designed with this vision in focus.
Join us as we embark on a journey of leadership together. In our Leadership Cohorts, you will find a supportive community where encouragement, connection, and prayer are laced together to create a space for growth and unity! As women leading in various ministries, let’s join to share our experiences, uplift one another, and strengthen our leadership skills. These cohorts will meet once a month on ZOOM and are led by a qualified When She Leads coach designed around various topics of ministry. Each Zoom gathering will focus on one aspect of leadership and will give time for open discussion, questions, and prayer. Meetings will begin the second week of January and continue the second week of each month for six months. The cohorts will conclude in June. Space is limited – please make every effort to commit to attending your cohorts!
Registration is now open, and it’s FREE!

Kelly has been married to Brian, Senior Pastor of Calvary Murrieta, for 40 years. They have two children and five grands!
Kelly has been the Director of Women’s Ministry at Calvary for over 35 years and loves what she does. She has a passion to see women grow in their faith and become doers of the Word, not hearers only. She is a teacher, a devotional writer, and author of a Bible Study series called “Reasons to Rejoice.”
Concerning Human Trafficking and other injustices, she has a passion to advocate for the rights of the oppressed and exploited, and to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Kelly feels compelled to do whatever she can to help “ensure justice for those being crushed.” (Proverbs 31:8-9) Kelly volunteers for the Riverside County’s Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force whenever possible and oversees the Justice Ministry at her church, working to help people figure out how to use their gifts, talents, and finances in fighting this battle. She also loves to serve in her community and volunteers with various other organizations, including the local chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Rebirth Homes, California Family Life Center, and the Murrieta Food Pantry.
As far as hobbies go, Kelly loves to run, cycle, hike, and anything else that burns calories! She loves to read, eat, play with her grandkids, travel, go to the beach, and find ways to share Jesus with her world!
Krista and her family live and serve as missionaries in the Amazonian region of Brazil in Belem, Para. She and her husband Kyle have been married for 20 years. They have two sons Aidan and Liam. She and her husband planted Calvary Chapel Belem where Kyle is the pastor and Krista serves as the women’s ministry leader and leads the Proverbs 24:11 ministry (a ministry dedicated to individuals involved in human trafficking and prostitution).
Krista has been involved in ministry for over 15 years. She is currently pursuing her doctorate degree in counseling focusing on trauma as her heart’s desire is to see the hurt healed and walking with the Lord.
This When She Leads Conference is for every woman serving in ministry! Our theme is “Equipped for a Purpose,” taken from Hebrews 13:20-21.
“Now may the God of peace—who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood, may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May He produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to Him. All glory to Him forever and ever! Amen”. (NLT)
