Sending Church Elements Cohort | Fall 2023, In-Person

The Sending Church Elements Cohort provides an opportunity for church leaders to understand the Sending Church Elements, evaluate themselves by them, and strategize for how to become a mature sending church.

The In-Person Cohort gives missions leaders the opportunity to go through the Elements alongside other missions leaders from around the nation and one other member of their church. Upstream team members will lead a two-day small-group retreat over the Sending Elements, followed by four  online group meetings for 2 hours  September - December and four personal online coaching sessions.

Whether you are a missions leader that is new to missions, or have been leading in missions for a while, the in-person cohort will provide you with opportunities to interact with other missions leaders, and interact with the Upstream team to help your church take steps towards maturity in sending.

The cost of the in-person church cohort is $1,250. Each addtional person from your church is only 100.00. 

The cohort will include:

• A retreat in Louisville, KY, arriving on Sunday evening August 27 and going all day on Monday through lunch on Tuesday, August 29. The cohort retreat will be led by Nathan Sloan and Bradley Bell.
• Three online group sessions with Upstream's President, Larry McCrary September - November.
• Three online individual sessions with Larry.
• Monday and Tuesday meals provided. Travel and lodging are not included.
• Resources that you can download and use for your church.
