Cohort Information

A cohort is a group of churches who come together seeking God’s direction in living as an intergenerational body. Cohort members will:

• pray together
• share ideas and experiences
• explore the approaches of other church bodies
• examine resources
• discuss roadblocks
• encourage and support each other on our mutual journey

Cohorts meet once a month for a one-hour phone call. They typically stay together for six to nine months. After six months, the cohort will consider whether a three month extension would be helpful. If you would like to be part of a cohort, please contact us (see sidebar).
