Sending Church Cohort
The NAB’s Sending Church Cohort is a peer-led cohort that meets twice in one year on location at two of our sending churches to learn from their triumphs and mistakes in sending out multipliers. Stu Streeter, VP of Church Multiplication and Ministry Advancement, hosts the gathering, but the core of training, discussion, and workshopping is led by the pastors and leaders of the host churches. This is an opportunity to learn at the feet of NAB leaders who are actively sending out church plants, campus launches, and revitalization efforts.
The first gathering of this year’s Sending Church Cohort took place in Fargo, North Dakota, in April, where we learned from Pastor Jake Peterson of River City Church, who is working alongside Jackson Hankey to plant a new congregation in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
The second gathering, which takes place September 15–16 in Edmonton, Alberta, will be led by Pastor Jeremy Putz of Central Baptist, which has used the multi-site model to great effect in their city. Currently, they are working on their fourth and fifth sites in the area. Their fourth site, which is set to launch this year, is an extraordinary story of a downtown historic site that sat largely empty for sometime. They are set to revive the space and the downtown life in the process.
We are so committed to the process that the NAB International Office covers all the cost of the cohort once you arrive in the host city. Simply, let us know you’re coming through the link below, and who you are bringing from your church to learn with you, and we will take it from there. If you need more than two hotel rooms for your church’s representatives, please reach out soon so we can explore options with you.
