Small groups cohort with Brad House

A one-year cohort to help pastors build deep and meaningful community in their churches.

This cohort is designed to help churches develop a clear plan for building (or resetting) a robust small group ministry within their congregation with a goal to develop deep and meaningful community. 

  • Brad has led over a hundred small group pastors and lead pastors through this course over the last decade, from across the country and around the world. As a pastor he has built a small group ministry from 0-600 and is the author of Community: Taking Your Small Group Off Life Support (Crossway).

  • The year-long cohort will meet as a group via Zoom as well as in-person. This blended approach provides flexibility as well as more engaged camaraderie. 

  • Great theology is wonderful, knowing how to use it well makes all the difference. You will learn but, even better, you will also get specific, actionable feedback to help you create the plan thats best for your context.

  • Participants will build and document a ministry plan built on conviction and proven practices. This plan will be used to cast vision and infuse energy into their ministry.

  • Leaders are the foundation of any small group ministry and the second module of the cohort will focus on identifying developing these leaders.

  • A plan is only as good as its execution. The last section of the cohort will focus on tools to better execute with 1:1 coaching tailored to your context.

Cultivate deep, meaningful community for the future of your church.

More than anything, the complexity and changes in our world over the past few years has impacted the way that we relate with one another. While the biblical foundation of community never changes, the playbook always adapts.

This cohort provides expert guidance, a supportive group environment, and practical skills that can be applied immediately so that pastors can be more effective in cultivating community and leading their church into the future.
