About the Cohort

A 12 month experience

In this small-cohort setting, you’ll receive practical mentoring and coaching, learn alongside people who may be a few steps ahead, and gain direct access to The Unstuck Group’s team, drawing on our experience serving hundreds of multisite churches.

It’s personalized wisdom, honest conversation, and ongoing support to help you lead an unstuck multisite church.

The Kickoff Gathering

This year-long experience kicks off with a 2-day gathering to set a solid foundation and invest in the relationships that will develop.

Pastors tell us they love the anti-conference feel of these gatherings: No crowds, no singing, no cheesy gimmicks.
You spend a few days away from the ministry whirlwind eating excellent meals and connecting with other gifted multisite leaders.

Zoom & Slack

After the kickoff gathering, the group will connect for 12 months.

Quarterly scheduled Zoom sessions to explore a few more critical concepts.
Frequent connection via a private Slack channel for your specific cohort.

This experience will include facilitated & collaborative discussions around these focused topics over one year.

Who Will Participate?

This experience is for senior leaders at multisite churches.

We’re designing it with executive pastors and multisite directors in mind, but if other senior leaders would like to join in, we welcome them. For this particular cohort, we strongly recommend sending a team of two or more to participate together.

We will offer personalized encouragement and challenges to each church related to multisite ministry health and next steps. We'll draw from our years of experience working with more than hundreds of multisite churches.

In all of the sessions, the goal will be to help you make good decisions about critical multisite concerns and walk away with actionable next steps to move forward.
