About She Leads Indiana

Our Mission

To connect Christian women of distinction throughout Indiana and our nation, thereby weaving a strong fabric of kindred spirits that focuses on encouraging each other, releasing each woman to fulfill her potential, and using our collective influence to build God's Kingdom here on earth. 

Our Purpose

As a dynamic, diverse organization of accomplished Christian women from across the nation, She Leads Indiana offers perspective that can only come from hundreds of leaders representing a broad spectrum of influence. We provide a framework to link interdisciplinary perspectives, centered in the Bible. We share resources: ideas, people, strategic thinking. We connect to collaborate, so we can offer faith-based solutions for modern-day challenges. 

Our History

In 2019, Liz Doyle of Michigan was led by God to honor women of faith from different streams of outreach -

Education, Health & Wellness, Government & Law, Christian Ministry, Family Life & Welfare, Community Service, Media & Arts, Busniness.

In 2020, She Leads Michigan honored our first Women of Distinction at a beautiful tea and luncheon at the state capital building. 

In 2021, She Leads America started and we honored 10 national women of distinction at the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC. 

With more than a dozen states She Leads continues to expand, honoring what God is doing through His daughters. The Lord continues to open incredible doors to shine a Light on all He is doing not only in America, but all around His world!
