Dr. Rose Madrid Swetman is a pastor, coach, spiritual director, speaker, leadership trainer, workshop facilitator, retreat guide and consultant. She has 30+ years of experience leading churches, groups and individuals through spiritual formation and organizational health. Her focus is on holistic healing of individuals, relationships and systems.
Rose was a pioneering leader during her time in Vineyard USA. She was among the first women ordained to the pastorate, the first woman to serve as an Area Leader, and one of the first female Regional Leaders. For a decade, she led the Northwest Region—comprising 46 churches—before transitioning out of that role. Beginning in 2006, Rose partnered with Dianne Leman, another trailblazer for women in the movement, to develop and implement a national strategy to support and elevate women in leadership across Vineyard churches.
Rose and her husband will be married 29 years in December 2025. Together, they have a blended family of eight children, spouses, and 27 grandchildren.
