Writing Your Congregation’s Next Chapter

Imagine joining a robust, glad, and innovative conversation that will help your congregation take steps into its God-given, hope-filled future.

That's what cohorts are: A gathering of congregational leaders who have the heart to find new ways to engage the old story of Jesus and his love—for their community, congregation, and world.

The Healthy Church cohort focuses attention on the next chapter of your congregation's story. In the Healthy Church Cohort, we will unearth the richness and hope of your congregation's story. Together, we will write the next chapter of your congregation's story. Prayerfully pursuing this story, we will listen to the voice of God, gather the congregation's insights, and listen to our neighbors.

Our goal as we walk this path is to faithfully step into God's story in a way that reflects your congregation's unique loves, joys, and passions. As such, the Healthy Church Cohort is a place to celebrate what God has done and see where he calls us to join in ministry and witness.

Central to this journey is being part of a cohort of churches that walk this path together. We will gain wisdom, support, and insights from fellow leaders. Being in a small cohort with 4-5 other churches and pastors will add to the richness of the journey. 

Vibrant Congregations provides the Healthy Church cohort in partnership with the Christian Reformed Church and the Thriving Churches Lilly Grant.
