Recapturing The Evangelical Political Imagination
J29 Cohort is for pastors like you who want to faithfully disciple their congregations through the current cultural and political moment. To learn more, sign up for one of our upcoming informational meetings.
A cohort for pastors dealing with political polarization in their congregations.
Pastoral ministry has been more challenging in recent years than ever before. As our civic life has deteriorated, pastors are one group that has been affected the most. Do you need a trusted group to help you navigate the difficulty of leading during this politically divisive time? Do you want to learn how to better disciple your congregation through these tumult? The J29 Cohort is for you! We’ve designed a 6-month cohort for working pastors that will provide encouragement, support, and a vision for your congregation's future as you navigate the choppy waters of 2024 and beyond. Best of all, our generous donors have covered most of the cost. Find out more below.
“… seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper”
