Pastoral Cohorts

How can I apply for a cohort? 

Use this application link to apply for a cohort.  The link is only active from August 15th through October 15th.

Who can participate in a cohort?

Age and stage are important for grouping pastors in a cohort. We want you to be in a cohort with other pastors who understand your experience without you needing to explain it to them. They get you. This round of cohorts is open to Senior/Lead Pastors and Solo Pastors.

How long are the pastoral cohorts?

There is a two-year commitment. But we desire that the Lord Jesus would knit these cohorts together so that they cannot think of do gospel ministry apart from this band of brothers.

When do the pastoral cohorts start?

Our next round of cohorts will start in January of 2027. In-person retreats will be in February/March and October of 2027.

How often do pastoral cohorts meet?

Twice a year for an in-person retreat in a beautiful setting. And then monthly over Zoom.

How large are the pastoral cohorts?

Deep relationships are essential to our cohorts. Cohorts consist of 5-7 pastors each. We also believe that age and stage are important.

How do I get into a pastoral cohort?

Contact us at wellbeing@genevabenefits.org. We will answer any questions and provide information on costs. We will give you details to share with your elders and guide you through the application process.

How can I pay for the pastoral cohort?

We believe that the local church should care for its pastor’s well-being. We will provide you with information to share with your Session and are available to answer any questions they may have. We have found that most Sessions want to ensure their pastors are cared...

Are scholarships available?

Yes! Because of the generosity of the Lilly Foundation, we have scholarships available to help your church offset the cost of the cohorts. Please reach out to us through the contact form to find out more information about scholarships.

How can I get a downloadable version of all the cohort information?
