A 6-MONTH JOURNEY FOR SEASONED MINISTRY LEADERS
Ministry life isn’t a sprint. It’s a marathon.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE SECRET TO SERVING Jesus with integrity for the longhaul, I’ll give you a hint…
You don’t (and you shouldn’t) have to do it alone.
The Ministry Strong Cohort is a 6-month experience designed for seasoned ministry leaders (whether in a vocational, bi-vocational or volunteer capacity) who are seeking the kind of deep personal growth that can come only from intentional accountability, honest inner reflection, and a relentless commitment to Biblically-grounded spiritual practices.
This cohort was inspired by a personal experience I recently went through with fellow ministry leaders (learn more about that here), and I hope and pray it will be just as transformative for you too. I'm anxious to see who God brings together, so if you feel a nudge to apply - please do!
Connect with a group of like-minded women who are relentlessly committed to you and to thriving in their ministry.
Guided conversations, ongoing fellowship, and an optional retreat in Charlotte, NC, will equip you to lead with renewed strength and clarity.
Who is this for?
Women in ministry who desire intentional spiritual growth and accountability
You’ve hit a wall. You feel God calling you to go deeper, reach higher, and get clarity – but you’re just not sure how. You’re ready to say “yes” to whatever God has for the next season of life and ministry… even if that means getting out of your comfort zone.
(Sound familiar? This cohort is for you.)
Leaders seeking community and encouragement from others walking a similar path
You’re starting to feel isolated and alone in your calling. Very few people understand your struggles, and those who do already serve alongside of you. Where can you be truly vulnerable? Who can you trust to share your burdens and celebrate your victories?
(If you’re nodding yes, this cohort is for you.)
Those ready to invest time and heart into their personal and leadership development
You’ve been in ministry long enough to know there is no “secret hack” to being an effective leader. The kind of growth you’re craving only comes from deep inner work, and Biblically grounded spiritual practices. You’re ready to set aside distractions and go “all in.”
