NAE Fuller Formation Group
National Female Leaders Cohort 2025
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).
This one-year cohort of select female leaders from the NAE network is designed to strengthen our spiritual and missional formation. Fuller Formation Groups (FFG) are a hands-on, relational way to learn and nurture spiritual practices that equip us to deepen our connection to Christ and his work in this world. Our prayer is that we can journey together as redeemed sisters in Christ.

What to pack?
All guest rooms are single occupancy, with a private bathroom. Sheets and towels are provided, and the wifi is reliable. FYI, they do NOT provide hair dryers or shower caps, and you may want to bring your own soap and shampoo. You should dress casually for comfort. Our time will include a personal retreat of silence, and if it’s not raining, you may want to bundle up and walk outside for a portion of it.
