Cohorts

Cohorts are one of the primary ways we support church planters, church staff, and ministry leaders. Through training, coaching, and community, our cohorts help leaders develop a DNA of church multiplication and take clear next steps toward planting strong, healthy, reproducing churches.


GCCPN offers two cohort environments designed for leaders at different stages. These experiential cohorts form holistically prepared leaders and equip local churches to confidently send them into new gospel-centered works.


Below you’ll find descriptions of our two development tracks: Discover and Launch.

  • Discover Cohort
    For those exploring church planting


    The Discover Cohort is an entry point for anyone who wants to learn more about church planting and discern their role in it. Our next Discover Cohort will begin in April 2026.


    This cohort is designed for:

    • Leaders and their spouses discerning a potential call to plant a church
    • Church staff members curious about church planting
    • Individuals considering joining a church plant in any capacity
    • Anyone who wants a clearer picture of what church planting really involves

  • Launch Cohort
    For church planters preparing to start a church

    The Launch Cohort is designed for church planters who are preparing to start a church within the next 12–18 months.


    This cohort provides extensive training and support around the core components required to launch a healthy, sustainable church. Participants receive:

    • Comprehensive training on the practical and spiritual aspects of church planting
    • Tools and frameworks for building healthy foundations
    • Ongoing coaching, peer learning, and accountability
    • A community of fellow planters walking the same road
    • The Launch Cohort is intentionally immersive and action-oriented, equipping planters not just to start a church—but to start one well.


    Next Launch Cohort will begin in September 2026.
