The PC(USA)’s Office of Christian Formation is offering multiple online, coach-facilitated cohorts for leaders this fall. The Fall 2025 cohort menu includes 13 groups, each focused on a different area of ministry. 

A retired pastor, the Rev. Von Clemans in Charlotte, North Carolina, coached two groups in 2020. The takeaway for him from both groups was the same.

“Watching groups of people scattered all over the country forming relationships that will continue beyond this cohort was amazing,” he said.

Coaching helps draw out the excellence already within ministry leaders, rather than offering a prescribed approach.

These 90-minute cohorts will meet once a week for 6 weeks beginning the week of October 13 and running through the week of November 17, 2025. Registration is open September 22 – October 3, 2025, however registration will close for a cohort when it becomes full.
