Shala Wilson, President & Lead Minister

Shala Wilson is an ordained minister, speaker, writer, and entrepreneur who equips leaders to courageously chase the calling of Jesus Christ. Through biblical teaching, leadership formation, and intentional discipleship, she challenges believers to live lives marked by courage, obedience, authenticity, and lasting transformation as they faithfully walk out God's call.

A writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries, Shala currently serves as the Small Groups Coordinator at Eternal Rock Church in Houston, where she shepherds and equips leaders from the conviction that healthy leaders cultivate healthy disciples. She longs to see an army of disciples faithfully living on mission, advancing God's Kingdom wherever He has called them.

Before moving to Houston, Shala served on the pastoral staff at The Bridge Church in Silver Spring, Maryland, where she helped launch the church's first youth ministry and provided leadership across small groups, communications, and executive leadership. She also helped launch the Seeds and Water Collective, a ministry committed to ending the spiritual refugee crisis in America.

Shala studied Women and Theology at Northern Seminary and is pursuing a Doctor of Ministry in New Testament at Houston Theological Seminary. Her doctoral research explores how spiritually formed and mission-minded small group leaders can cultivate lasting cultures of discipleship within the local church.

Based in Houston, Shala loves the richness of her city's diversity and is always up for great conversation over fajitas or spring rolls.
