Join Cohort Detroit.

Journey with us through our 10-month spiritual & justice formation Cohort in the city.

What is our mission?

We partner with Detroiters to raise up the next generation of leaders who love God deeply, work for justice, and humbly serve our communities (Micah 6:8)

What is Cohort Detroit?

Cohort Detroit is a 10-month spiritual formation program for Christ-following leaders in and around Detroit. Through your 10 months in Cohort, you will:

  • Gather weekly as a cohort for learning conversations, prayer, and intentional community.

  • Learn from experts and pastors about development, ministry, and justice within the Detroit context: themes range from embracing prophetic lament, navigating challenging relationships, and finding resurrection hope in challenging spaces. 

  • Travel to Washington, D.C. for our lament learning intensive, and practice sabbath rest during our spiritual retreat in Northern Michigan.

  • Grow relationships with a diverse cohort of young leaders, processing your local work and ministry together: learning as a group how our daily work and service fits with Christ's call to be servants and ambassadors at the margins.

  • Transform through new spiritual habits, regular mentoring and professional counseling, and join our growing network of alumni in the city.
