Participate in an Exciting Growth and Transformational Learning Experience!

We invite you to join a cohort!  A Cohort is a group of pastors from a region in our district who want to receive training, tools, coaching and connection with one another to advance their churches.  These Cohorts are designed to assist you in taking your church to the next level.  Our goal is to give you practical tools that will set a realistic course for you and your church.  You will learn ways to put together a strategic plan which will be unique to your church body and community. Over a two-year period, you will receive instruction in the 15 vital components of the pastorate (Healthy Pastor) and the 15 vital functions of church life (Healthy Church).  There will be 4 Ministry Cohort Training sessions each year for a total of 8 sessions.  There will be 6 different meeting locations around our district.  You can join at anytime!  Each session will stand alone as a benefit to you, even if you choose not to join.  We encourage you to come and check out one of our Cohorts.
