Rev. Katie E. Lance is the Director of Discipleship for The Wesleyan Church. An ordained minister, Katie is passionate about coaching, equipping, and mobilizing lay leaders and pastors to multiply disciple-making movements. She gained valuable experience throughout fifteen years in church planting. She and her husband, Pastor Randy Lance, co-planted Thrive Church, where she ministered as lead pastor. Katie coaches pastors and leaders in multiple denominations and is a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop facilitator. Katie came to the Christian faith as an adult. Before stepping into full-time ministry, she worked as a registered nurse in cardiac and intensive care units and still maintains her license as a registered nurse (RN). Her personal and professional background provides her with unique insight into kingdom challenges and opportunities in the church today. Katie’s greatest source of joy is spending time with her husband of twenty years and their teen boys, Simon and Levi. As a family they enjoy traveling, music and the arts, and anything that brings laughter together.
