Training - Cohorts

What is a Connecting Points Cohort? A cohort consists of church leaders from a particular geographical area that come together six times in the course of a year for intensive training in the arena of relational ministry. The cohort experience allows for interaction among leaders that is both insightful and encouraging. Each meeting provides leadership training as well as tools needed to change the culture of a church and make it more relational in its approach to communion (connecting to God), community (connecting with each other), and evangelism (connecting to people out side the church). As a member of a cohort each church will receive: leadership training for relational ministry, full implementation tools for starting Connecting Points group ministry, rapid mobilization tools for training leaders, and a church website to connect your church with your community. We are presently holding cohorts in several different areas and plan to start others in the near future. If you are interested in joining one of these cohorts, please contact us and we will get you involved in a cohort near you.
