For The Church Cohorts is a one-year program designed to equip like-minded residential seminary students through enhanced discipleship, focused study, and intentional community. Cohort participants will gather weekly with members of their cohort to fellowship, discuss topics related to their subject, and learn from world-class faculty and ministry leaders.
Cohort members will meet with faculty and other key ministry leaders weekly who are eager to invest both personally and academically.
Cohort members will gain invaluable experience by leading discussions, presenting on ministry topics, managing events, and serving local churches.
Participants receive a *50% tuition discount and are eligible to receive up to 12 hours of course credit through the program.
Cohorts will meet regularly to discuss relevant resources, hear from world-class faculty, and to encourage one another as they pursue Christ together.
FTC Cohorts provide regular opportunities to fellowship with like- minded believers and build a community that supports you long after graduation.
Train together for the church in a like-minded community designed to enhance your academic studies with hands-on ministry experience from field experts at a reduced rate. Join a one-year cohort for a lifetime of ministry partnerships.
