About Diakonos Solutions

Diakonos Solutions began as part of a Doctor of Ministry dissertation and has grown into a focused work of support for women in ministry.

One thing has always been true: the story of women in ministry transcends denominational lines. Across traditions and contexts, women carry pressures and expectations that their male counterparts simply do not.


Ministry can be life-giving. It can also be lonely. There are seasons when you're expected to keep showing up with strength and clarity, even when you're running low on both. And there are moments when the questions underneath your work feel hard to name — let alone say out loud to someone you trust.


That's why Diakonos Solutions exists.We recognize that our strength lies in the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of our community. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every woman in ministry feels valued, supported, and equipped to lead.

Our Mission

What We Believe

What We Believe

Our mission is to transform the experience for women in ministry by nurturing connections, offering spiritual and academic support, and advocating for courageous leadership. That mission is lived out through one-to-one support and through ministries that remove barriers and honor women’s call.

What We Believe

What We Believe

What We Believe

We believe in equitable opportunities for growth, learning, service, and leadership for all women, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, disability, economic background, or educational history.

How we support women in ministry

For some women, support looks like spiritual direction—a listening relationship that helps you pay attention to God’s presence, name what’s true, and discern what you need for the season you’re in.


For others, support looks like DMin coaching—practical guidance that helps you move forward with clarity and structure, especially when the doctoral process feels isolating.


Diakonos Solutions also supports women through scholarships that invest in advanced study, and through Stories Behind the Stoles, which connects gently used stoles with newly ordained women and honors the stories carried with them.

What we’re working toward

We envision faith communities that reflect equitable leadership—where women’s leadership in all areas of ministry is valued, where barriers are dismantled, and where diverse voices shape the future of faith communities.


Diakonos Solutions stands as a testament to the belief that every woman’s ministry matters. We are dedicated to creating a space where the vulnerable find safety and the marginalized are affirmed in their God-given dignity and agency. Together, we strive to close the leadership gap in the church so women in ministry can thrive.
