STRATEGIC MINISTRIES


Fall Cohorts to Focus on Small Group Experiences Outside the Church
Many clergy and laity struggle with the visioning and implementation of new ministries as they embrace new ways to share their faith in small groups, worship services, and fellowship events outside of the church building. To equip and resource leaders, fall cohorts will establish basic principles of this ministry style while inviting individuals to participate in these experiences by engaging in a small group. The basic principles and tenets will be available for online, self-paced learning. At the end of this experience, there will be time to debrief and explore contextual implementation. While these offerings are limited, one can apply what they learn as a participant to the local context while embracing their own passion and gifts.

  • D&D&D (Dungeons & Dragons & Discipleship) uses a common role-playing game to help youth and adults grow in their discipleship and moral development. The eight-session cohort meets every other Tuesday from 1:30-4:00 p.m. beginning September 6. Cost is $50, plus supplies. Learn more and register.

Interested in learning more about small groups ministries and new visions for faith community but unable to be part of these cohorts? Sign-up for our online learning platform to view the courses.

For questions about these cohorts and other Strategic Ministries opportunities, please e-mail the Rev. Beth Ortiz, Connectional Ministries Office Strategic Ministries director.
