How It Works
A pastor and lay partner (the “Change Leaders”) are trained to facilitate each module with a small team from their congregation. Beyond the six virtual training sessions, you then have flexibility and agency to determine what schedule and tools work with your team’s context.
Many participants describe this experience as addressing three longings for churches:
✨ leadership development
✨ spiritual formation and discipleship
✨ community impact
Program Cost: $700 per congregation
including six virtual training sessions, all program materials, and two one-hour Coaching sessions
We welcome congregations and individuals of any denomination, faith tradition, race, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Scholarships are available.
Examples of church experiments resulting from this cohort program:
Monthly lunch program for lonely seniors, partnering with local restaurants
Guided nature walks as a spiritual approach to anxiety
Yoga and nutrition classes to address health issues among church and community members
Creating a computer and study center for community youth after school
