Develop a philosophy of ministry that lasts.

AN ONLINE COHORT COURSE TO HELP YOU BUILD A DISCIPLESHIP STRATEGY FOR YOUR CHURCH

 Not all ministry strategies are created equal.

How is a holistic philosophy of ministry developed and implemented? Join other pastors, executive leaders, and ministry directors from around the world for an online cohort course designed to help you learn and utilize principles of ministry that stand the test of time.

Why We Made This Course

To help you understand the problem (and how you can solve it in your church), JT, Jen, and Kyle discuss "The Church and Discipleship: How the Local Church Can Make Whole Disciples of Jesus" in this one-hour session from TGC23.

In this session you’ll hear:

  • What’s the problem

  • Solutions to fix it

  • And how you can develop a contextualized, sustainable, and proven philosophy of ministry for deep discipleship in your local church.

From philosophy to practice, we help you:

LEARN

Learn a Proven, Sustainable Philosophy of Ministry

Every participant will walk away with a proven and sustainable philosophy of ministry around Christian Education.

DEVELOP

Develop a Deep Discipleship Framework

Every participant will receive training in developing a discipleship framework around the Bible and theology.

IMPLEMENT

Implement Learning Environments & Train Teachers

Every participant will be trained how to implement transformational, active, and sequenced learning environments in the life of the church and learn how to identify, develop, and deploy teachers and leaders in your ministry.

Training the Church Cohort Course

Launching Fall 2025

No matter where you’re located, you can meaningfully participate in this digital cohort course virtually. Throughout the course, you will receive hours of development, training, and coaching for your ministry from JT English, Jen Wilkin, and Kyle Worley. Additionally, your organization will have the option to connect with other participants to discuss homework and provide feedback and encouragement. Coaching calls with JT, Jen, and Kyle will also be available as an add-on to your course.

Hear From Past Participants

  • "After the cohort, we felt compelled and equipped to write our own Bible study curriculum for the first time and are actively working to develop our core classes - Bible, Belief, and Formation."

    Jenny Stricklin, The Summit Church

  • "The expertise, teaching and training from Jen, JT and Kyle; the fact that I was able to have three 'experts' speak into my particular ministry context was one of the most beneficial exercises I have partaken in."

    Angi Tuffnell, Northview Community Church

  • "The TTC Cohort provided the tools we needed to build a culture of learning based discipleship, which will have a lasting effect on our discipleship efforts for years to come."

    Corey O’Grady, Grace Church Amsterdam

  • "Because of our cohort experience, we're now equipped with the tools we need to implement active learning environments in the context of the local church that will give our people what they need to grow up in Christ and go out on mission."

    LifeConnection Church

  • "I highly recommend this cohort if you want to ensure growth and development in biblical literacy and application within the walls of your church. It is both deep and practical."

    Brenda Martin, Grace Fellowship

  • "We appreciated the diversity of thought derived from varying ministry contexts, which in turn helped us think about the principles of discipleship rather than feeling compelled to follow a specific cookie-cutter approach."

    Brian Abbott, First Free Church

  • "I could write a novel expressing my appreciation for this program. I'm forever indebted."

    T.J. Lewis, City of God Church

  • "Since the cohort, we've been able to build out a scope and sequence that has provided clarity for all of our adult discipleship ministries."
