develop within the body of christ as you serve |
Register |
When you serve the Church, are you joyful and invigorated? Do you seek ideas and methods for serving better? Perhaps you may sometimes feel your service is a thankless, lonely, or overwhelming burden. As the body of Christ, we are called to encourage one another. To do this, we need connections!
Peer Learning cohorts meet monthly under the guidance of a trained facilitator. Before each meeting you will receive a short article, podcast, or video link related to the cohort's chosen topic as a way to kick-off the conversation. Though not required, participants are encouraged to present in their areas of expertise. After enriching discussion, each member will be encouraged to implement one take-away concept or practice. The cohort structure will keep us together, committed, and accountable as we strive to be faithful stewards in our leadership responsibilities.
