Evangelism Learning Cohort

STRENGTHEN A CHURCH

Evangelism Learning Cohort

Cohort led by practitioners to further equip church planters, pastors, and support ministry leaders.

In our evangelism learning cohort, we invite leaders to first (re)center Jesus in their own lives and communities and offer practical ways they can strengthen the spiritual conversation “muscles” in their congregations. The end goal is that church leaders will be able to create environments where their church families can grow in ‘speaking’ the good news even in the face of fear and a shifting cultural climate.
