Faithful Innovation Learning Community for Judicatories
If you're a leader in a judicatory system who...
- Recognizes that your communities are rapidly changing;
- Wants clear next steps for helping congregations faithfully respond in new and different ways; and
- Needs to do it without adding to an already-packed schedule…
The Faithful Innovation Learning Community for Judicatory Leaders is for you.
The challenges facing the church are big and nebulous and it’s really easy to feel overwhelmed or cynical. But this process has given us a basis for hope—even if we don’t know all the answers.

How Does It Work?
You’ll start with two in-person trainings that walk you step-by-step through our faithful innovation curriculum and equip you to introduce it in your judicatory. Then you move into an implementation phase, where you get one-on-one and group coaching for feedback and on-the-ground guidance.
Training 1: The Faithful Innovation Process
Learn the three-step faithful innovation process (Listen, Act, Share) so that you can engage Christian practices and leading-edge innovation theory to help congregations discover what God might already be up to in their communities and discern a faithful path forward.
Training 2: How to Introduce Faithful Innovation to Your Congregations
This “train the trainer” retreat will equip you with everything you need to know in order to recruit and teach congregations in your judicatory system to practice faithful innovation—including videos, handouts, resources, and a compelling process for recruiting congregations that are ready to discover a new way forward.
Ongoing Access to Coaching and Support
After completing the two trainings, you’ll have twelve months of full access to our ongoing support program — including:
- Two one-on-one coaching calls with your cohort leaders to help you implement everything you learn
- A private digital community with your cohort and other alumni so that you can stay in touch and bounce ideas off of each other
- Regular office hours with our experienced leader-coaches
- Instant access to the most up-to-date faithful innovation resources that get developed for as long as you’re in the program
