    This cohort experience is geared towards those in ministry leadership. Having ministry credentials or a ministry role with direct oversight is not required, but the cohort framework works best for those whose perspectives and goals are ministry-focused. Additionally, those in a focused marketplace ministry environment will likely thrive in the cohort.

    Space is prayerfully and intentionally limited to serve 30 participants in the cohort. Therefore, an application does not guarantee your acceptance. However, you will hear back from our leadership team shortly after your application is submitted.

  • Cohort Commitment

    Participants must attend ALL monthly Zoom gatherings, coaching sessions, and the in-person Retreat. Your attendance preserves the cohort's format and outcome. Should an emergency or exception apply, timely communication is requested.

    Beginning February 10, 2026, the monthly Zoom gatherings will be 1.5 hours each on the second Tuesday of each month at 8 pm EST.

    The culmination of the BUILD Cohort experience is a three-day in-person Retreat in Christiansburg, VA, scheduled for June 25-27, 2026.
