Ft Wayne EmPower Breakfast
April 30 at 7 am
Register now for the Ft Wayne emPower Breakfast! Our speaker will be Tomi Cardin, Founder of Redemption House.
Why We Are Different
Focused on You: From Featured Speakers to table conversations, many people have a chance to speak at an emPower Breakfast. Experts, Sponsors, regular attendees … and You! We try to give everyone a chance to share their stories…
An Intimate Event: We aren’t looking for hundreds to attend - our events feel like you could meet everyone if you tried.
Non-commercial: The emPower Breakfast does not promote any specific product, the presentations are not sales pitches. Our monthly event is non-membership and public; focused on fun and relationship building.
We finish on time: We pace our event quickly, so there’s never a dull moment!
Register now for the April emPower Breakfast!
Featured Speaker
Tomi Cardin
Tomra “Tomi” Cardin is the founder of Redemption House, a recovery home she founded in 2012 after serving as a volunteer chaplain in the county jail. Her heart broke for the women she met there, who were caught in a cycle of drug use and turmoil, something she related to from her own history of addiction. “I saw myself in those women,” she recalls. “God gave me a vision for a transition home where women could develop good habits and live in a sober environment, where they could discover God’s love for them and the future he has for them. That vision was our first Redemption House.”
Today, Tomi is the CEO of Redemption House Ministry, a network of recovery houses in Fort Wayne. A Bluffton, Ind. native, she earned BA and MA degrees in organizational leadership from Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne and University of Saint Francis, and she’s currently working on a Doctorate in Theology at Evangelical Seminary in Pennsylvania. Tomi is well-known and active throughout the community, serving on a variety of boards and committees. She is a member of Anchor Community Church and has chaired the church board.
