LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

COHORTS

Because no one should lead alone.

  • Authentic Community

    Each cohort designates a time & place to gather either weekly or bi-weekly. These gatherings consist of leadership lessons, authentic conversations, and faithful prayer. While virtual options are available for some cohorts, we believe in-person gatherings are most effective for building genuine relationships.

    When you join a cohort, you’ll be a part of something bigger than yourself — you’ll grow and help others grow, too.

  • Biblical Perspectives

    Using the Bible as our ultimate guide for truth, we’ll grow together as we study God’s Word and apply it to our lives and our leadership. Each cohort focuses not only on reading the Word together, but also implementing Biblical leadership principles that shape what we believe are the best leaders.

    Our cohorts are designed to equip Christian leaders with biblically-based curriculum, but if you’re not a Christian, we’d love to introduce you to Jesus and see how He can transform your life through the experience of this cohort.

  • Leadership Principles

    Here at SUMMIT, we believe the highest quality leaders exhibit growth in each of our 10 Core Leadership Skill Areas, and these serve as the pillars of our cohort curriculum.

    These include Identity & Community, Knowledge & Wisdom, Servanthood & Stewardship, Excellence & Perseverance, and Vision & Action. During our cohort gatherings, we’ll collaborate on how we can intentionally apply these skill areas within our own spheres of influence.

  • Outdoor Experience

    At the conclusion of each cohort session, we encourage you to attend a specific outdoor experience — whether a campout or retreat or single-day adventure — alongside your fellow cohort members.

    This solidifies the feeling of community as you share a common experience, and you have an opportunity to experience God in a very real way in His creation. We challenge individuals to stretch out of their comfort zones in order to grow, and this is a great way to do so.

Women’s Leadership Cohort

This Spring, we’ll meet on Wednesday evenings from 6-8 pm CST at our SUMMIT office, from February through May, 2024. We ask that you commit fully by attending at least 13 out of our 15 gatherings. If you’re going to miss a cohort gathering, please notify your Cohort Leader ahead of time to ensure you receive any vital information shared during that session.

There is a virtual option for this cohort as well. If you join us virtually, we ask that you are fully engaged in our conversations with minimal distractions or interruptions. Meetings will be recorded & recordings will be shared as needed, but live attendance is strongly encouraged.
