Leadership Cohorts

The best mentoring occurs when the mentee is part of a dynamic learning community, a place where everyone is being sharpened and transformed by one another.

That’s why at Linden Grove we offer Leadership Cohorts to pastors and church leaders. The Cohorts, which consist of seven to twelve participants, meet regularly as a group with an LGM mentor. A typical session includes:

  • Biblical and practical teaching on a church leadership topic

  • Case studies and breakout discussion

  • Real-life narratives that connect the teaching to actual situations 

  • Candid interaction

  • Prayer, encouragement, and support.


Examples of recent Cohort topics include: 

  • How do you lead your ministry out of an extended crisis?

  • What are five ways you can upgrade your process of sermon development and delivery?

  • How does a leader work through past experiences in light of the gospel?


Every member of a Cohort also has regular one-on-one sessions with the mentor. At LGM we call these “personal hours,” a strategic time for the mentor to help the mentee with specific issues being faced in life and ministry.  To learn more about those Personal Hours, click here.

Both men and women are welcome to participate in the Leadership Cohorts. If you or someone you know would be interested in learning more, please contact us through the Connect with Linden Grove page on our website.
