What Sets This Cohort Apart?

Biblical Foundation: Equip yourself with tools to assess and advance your church’s disciplemaking efforts.
Collaborative Learning: Share ideas, challenges, and successes with like-minded leaders who understand your journey.

Advantages of a Cohort

A cohort will help you customize your plan for making disciples through ongoing relationships with members of your group and your cohort leader.
If you need a more personalized approach to developing your plan, you can work directly with your cohort leader. (Additional fees may apply)
Each cohort will have no more than 10 people so there will be plenty of ideas and thoughts from a multitude of sources but you will also be able to express/offer your own.
As a member of a cohort, you will be part of 6 one-hour monthly meetings with your cohort, a monthly check-in with your cohort leader, free conference fees for next year’s DLN annual conference, and of course the chance to interact with your cohort leader by email, phone, or text as needed.
