What is a
Church Life Cohort?

Wayne Murray, Senior Pastor
Grace Assembly of God,
Indianapolis, Indiana

The Church Life Educational Cohort is exactly what I needed for my ministry. If my church was to go higher, I had to reach higher in my leadership and relationship skills. In many ways, I was the one keeping the church from fulfilling its full potential. I had a thousand excuses why I couldn't participate, such as I don't have time, and I am too busy. Thank God I didn't listen to the excuses.

Church Life Cohorts bring pastors together in relational, committed, coaching relationships to effect personal growth, to strengthen leadership skills, and to lift churches to the next  level of ministry effectiveness.

What are the components of the Church Life Cohort process?

- Pentecostal spirituality 
- Intense assessment
- Strategic thinking and planning 
- Coaching and consultation 

Who is involved in Church Life Cohorts?

Over 1500 local churches (pastors) representing four Pentecostal denominations are presently involved in District, State, or Regional Cohorts. Pastors commit to meet monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly to receive church life training, coaching, consultation, and peer mentoring for a designated  period of time, usually one year. Cohort pastors work with a local church vision team to spiritually seek out the vision/mission and values of the church. Pastors and vision teams work together to  lift their churches to the next level of ministry effectiveness.

Church Life Educational Cohorts

In September of 2007, Church Life in alliance with the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary and Central Bible College began the first educational cohort for those seeking to earn Masters and Bachelors degrees in an intensely practical learning environment. A Doctor of Ministry in Leadership Cohort began October 2009. In August 2011, Church Life will partner with Valley Forge Christian College to offer a Masters of Christian Leadership.
