Join the Conversation - Cohorts
Cohorts offer you the opportunity to evaluate the current implmentation of your ministry plan in a uniquely effective, small group setting. We are in challenging times as we are working through different plans and methods of faith formation and youth ministry this year. The Office of Faith Formation and your fellow ministry leaders are here to journey with you.
Cohorts are being formed in the following areas:
- Adult Formation
- Confirmation Preparation
- Family Faith Formation
- RCIA
- Reconciliation/Eucharist Preparation
- Textbook-Based Faith Formation
- Youth Ministry
What can you expect in our Implementation Cohorts:
Personalized feedback: Group size will be small (6-8 of your peers) to create a comfortable space for direction, discussion and sharing. We'll work together to identify the landscape, consider challenges, explore options and define strategies. Homework exercises will help you hone your plan.
Peer-to-peer networking: You'll connect with other ministry leaders who are doing the same work that you are. We'll talk about what's been working, what hasn't and brainstorm what we can do better.
Keys to the clutter: We'll help you cut through the clutter of resources to find what's most useful for your ministry plan.
Positive outcomes: By the end of the cohort, you can expect to have identified at least one avenue for strengthening implementation and two practical strategies for reaching that goal -- the start of a fresh, targeted approach to ministry!
Our current session of Cohorts has begun. If you are interested in joining a future Cohort, please click below to indicate your availability. Or, check out our options for Individual Coaching.
Contact Rosina Hendrickson for more information on these opportunities.
