101 Cohort - Exploring Kingdom Paradigms

The purpose of this Cohort is to orient people to the guiding paradigms and values of a more relational, formational, and missional approach to following Jesus. By the end of the Cohort you will have grown in your awareness of God’s Grand Story, your own story, and increased discernment for your next season of following Jesus.
