The Source Collaborative: Timeline

You are invited to consider being part of the 2023-2024 cohort of Wesley Theological Seminary’s The Source Collaborative. This initiative is a collective effort among churches, coaches, and the seminary to connect more deeply with God, our own stories, and our neighbors that we might drink more deeply of and become conduits for God’s love, justice, and mercy.

This two-year program will help congregations identify their own markers of thriving based on their community and context, create a strategic plan for congregational change that will allow them to move toward those markers, and implement the plan with the help of a coach. Throughout the process, each congregation will commit to intentional prayer and other spiritual practices. Ten regional United Methodist congregations will be selected for the 2023-2024 cohort.
