Seek to learn how to listen to the voice of God, to one another, and to one’s own soul so that they might discern and do the will of God (Romans 12:2)

Our mission is to come alongside and amplify, support, and equip the efforts of pastors, ministry leaders, and nonprofit directors to lead in a more collaborative, Spirit-formative way in their leadership settings. We do this in a two-year retreat based cohort.
