Grow in your development as a Kingdom worker

Fall Cohorts are now open.

Cohorts are open to Official Alliance Workers, along with their spouses. Church leaders can join a cohort, but only alongside their pastor or another Alliance worker at their church.

Rooted in Ephesians 4:11-13, each cohort we offer focuses on fives values that can help build your church as a disciple-making community.

  1. INTENTIONAL - a clear path for development in a specific area

  2. RELATIONAL - learn and grow with other brothers and sisters

  3. COMPETENCY-FOCUSED - gain knowledge and develop ministry skills

  4. TRANSFORMATIONAL - center on becoming more like Jesus

  5. TRANSFERABLE - reproduce in your local church or ministry

“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
