In this second episode of Going the MILE: Stories of Calling and Ministry in the Greater Northwest, Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth welcomes Sally Vonner, General Secretary and CEO of United Women in Faith. Sally shares how she first experienced her call, why she chose not to pursue ordination, and how she now lives out her vocation as a lay leader shaping ministry on a global scale.
Her story reflects the heart of the MILE vision. Ministry that Matters means trusting God’s leading even when the path is not what you expect. Itineration and Location remind us that God calls us in every setting of life. Lay Ministry Enhancement affirms the vital role of laity in shaping the church’s witness. Eliminating Racism is woven into the justice commitments that Sally and United Women in Faith have carried for generations.
Join us as Sally reflects on clarity, persistence, and faith that endures across seasons. Going the MILE is not just about telling stories. It is about walking with purpose, listening deeply, and leading with love.
