Life Is Better Together…
And So Is Learning
A cohort is a small group learning environment led by experts in a particular ministry field. Typically ranging from 3-10 attendees (maximum in most cohorts is 10), these learning experiences include both high level and practically engaging sessions that will grow your leadership and deepen your ministry.
SGN cohorts vary in length and format depending on the topic to best serve the members of the cohort. New cohorts will be added throughout the year so check back regularly for the latest updates.
Cohort pricing varies depending on the length of cohort. ALL ACCESS members may join any cohort at no additional cost. All cohort applicants are asked to commit to participating fully for the complete duration of the cohort to maximize the community learning value and benefit for all the members.

From Dead Programs to Living Systems
Engage more people more quickly and develop them more effectively
Sometimes in ministry it feels like you can only get things done at the 2 magical “launch” seasons: fall and January.
While the momentum in these seasons feels great, they leave a whole lot to be desired. Everyone’s fighting for the same 3-4 announcements slots, people wait months for the next launch, and people remain dependent on the official church calendar.
It’s time to turn these dead recurring programs and fit them into living systems that function all year round, develop stronger leaders, and are ready-built for growth.
Cost: $200
What We’ll Be Working On
Here’s where we’re headed in our 5 sessions together:
1: Systems > Programs
- Why systems are better than programs.
- Assess your current ministry line-up… what feels dead? what feels alive?
2: Building a Living System
- Systems are made out of…
- To define those you need…
- For your ministries, events, etc…
3: The Essentials: Assimilation
4: The Essentials: Leader
5: The Essentials: Discipleship
Cost: $200
