j29 Cohort
Every year, the j29 Coalition offers a cohort experience for pastors and ministry leaders with the goal of equipping leaders to cultivate a Jesus-shaped political imagination in their congregations. Through high-quality training from experienced leaders and shared learning alongside fellow clergy from across the country, participants will be formed for faithful, thoughtful engagement in their local contexts.
We are no longer taking applications for the 2026 cohort, but if you are interested in being a part of future cohort, let us know by filling out the form below.
