Leader Cohorts
Get support and develop best practices for your ministry in community.
We heard you! NWC leaders around the nation have told us that they would LOVE to be in a committed small group with other NWC leaders to pray, share insights, and relate more closely to one another as fellow partners in this movement of Jesus Christ in our communities.
We are starting multiple cohorts of New Worshiping Community leaders this fall. We have geographically-based and topical cohorts forming. Most will meet online once/month, but the groups can determine what is best for them. Our 1001 team will also have a quarterly training online for all cohort members to expand their competencies as leaders, based on the topics you want to focus on.
It is good to tell our stories - during 1001 conference this August, many of us took time to share how we came to be a NWC leader. It felt good to be heard, and to let the passion of others ignite us once again for our calling. I hope that stories and honest truth-telling will be a part of these groups as they move forward.
If you are interesting in being a part of this, please contact Sara, below. Cohorts are forming now!
