Genesis Church Planters Cohort
Jan 2023- April 2023
Church Planting is a Journey
Are You Prepared?
The Genesis Training
is one of the most concentrated opportunities potential planters could have for a deep dive into the theology and practice of planting mission-based churches
Small Size
Plenty of room for dialog, conversation, and questions amidst all of the planned training.
Together
Our cohort model provides the opportunity to learn along with others as friendships are built and relationships are fostered
Diverse Models
This cohort training [as in all we try to do] isn’t dominated by just a few individuals or models of church planting. You’ll hear from a variety of planters, both seasoned and new, and learn from their experiences and approaches.
Balance
Finally, we will provide a good balance of theology, theory, and practicality. Each component is vital.
DETAILS
How does the Cohort work?
Each session consists of pre-recorded content with one of our Equippers and an 1 1/2 hour live Q&A discussion.
In addition, we'll have some pre-work, post-work, and a one-on-one debrief/coaching session with one of our Equippers after the cohort ends. All content will be pre-recorded allowing you to engage on your own schedule, weekly sessions will consist of discussion and Q & A with our Equippers/Presenters. All discussion sessions will be recorded to allow those who have to miss a week to catch up.

Will an online cohort be as good as the one-week, in-person experience Genesis has been in the past?
It will be different. We'll miss meals together, morning and evening prayer, and all the casual conversations that happen in the spaces in-between. BUT, we gain a longer time to learn together, to wrestle with concepts and soak in the material, and the cohort model lends itself extremely well to relationship building. We lose some things, but we gain a lot too.
Here's what others have said...
Feedback from past Genesis Trainings
"This week was extremely be beneficial. I came in not knowing what to expect, a little nervous and overwhelmed, but left feeling extremely equipped and a lot more knowledgeable and encouraged. Genesis has done such a great job covering a multitude of topics."
"Genesis was incredibly encouraging - I feel more equipped about how our team is going to make this idea of a church plant into a reality and more excited about this mission that God has given to us!"
"It was an incredibly helpful and encouraging experience. There was a great balance between strategic discussion and tending to our hearts. The opportunity to connect with church planters from around the country was exciting and edifying. "
"The principles of missional church planting taught was a great blend of head, heart, and hands. This was an ideal space to discern, discuss, and work on my church planting plan. The community feel of the week was encouraging and supportive. Lots of prayer, laughter, and learning took place. I'm sad for it to end!"
