Cohorts
We believe that growth takes place over time and in the context of community. We provide various cohort-based opportunities each
academic year to help individuals lead in business and society, support couples in their marriages,
and train vocational ministers in the context of the local church
Registration Now Open for The 2026-2027 Cohorts:
Re-engage, Burnham, and Chicago Plan
Marriage Cohort
Holy Trinity’s marriage ministry’s curriculum, Re-Engage, is an opportunity to study, individually, as a couple, and in a confidential, authentic group setting, how God would have us live our married lives. It is first and foremost a discipleship curriculum encouraging couples to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ and to see their marriages through the lens of the Gospel. The Re-Engage curriculum brings out the predictable issues that all couples will encounter during their married lives and how God would have each of us respond to them.
Registration is due by June 1 for the next Fall Cohort. Drop the team an email if you are interested in learning more.
Join us for a Taste of Re-engage on Zoom on Sunday, March 22 at 7:00 pm.
Marketplace Cohort
The Burnham Fellowship provides the theological, spiritual, and relational foundations required for meaningful and sustainable integration of faith and work in our urban context. Over the course of our 9 months together, we work to reveal how our culture has and is shaping us, and we seek to be counter-formed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. We do this through deep theological reflection and readings, personal and communal spiritual formation practices, as well as hands-on projects to impact our neighborhoods and city.
Learn more about the program and application process at Faith & Work Chicago. Applications are due by June 1 for the next fall cohort.
Join us for a Taste of Burnham on Zoom on Sunday, April 19 at 7:30 pm. Or in person
May 3 for lunch after the 11 AM service
Vocational Ministry Cohort
The Chicago Plan is Holy Trinity Church's residential training program devoted to training emerging pastors, church planters, and full-time Christian workers. Over the last 2 decades, we have been privileged to train over 100 interns and residents. The schedule follows the general academic calendar, beginning in October and ending in May. The curriculum consists of three parts: classroom instruction, ministry experience, and mentorship.
Learn more about the program and application process here: The Chicago Plan. Applications are due by June 1 for the next fall cohort.
Join us for our Chicago Plan Informational Lunch on Sunday, April 12th, after the 11 AM service.
Registration takes place each Fall for the Community Group Leader and Culture & Theology Cohorts
Community Group Leader Cohort
This Cohort is for men and women who are giving leadership to a Holy Trinity Community Group. The Cohort begins with a virtual meeting during the summer to organize groups for the upcoming year. We’ll then meet in person on a Saturday in August for training and to prepare to kick off the year. Throughout the academic year, CG Leaders meet in smaller geographically based Mentor Groups for equipping, encouragement, and prayer.
Every CG leader is expected to be part of the Cohort, and will be sent a link to register.
Culture & Theology Cohort
Culture and Theology Cohorts allow us to dig deep and spend significant time working through culturally relevant topics together. They run the course of the school year and meet monthly for 2 hours. Cohorts allow for deeper theological reflection, greater breadth in reading, and more time for cohort discussion than we have in an 8-week course.
We’re thrilled to announce the Cohort for the 2025-26 academic year: Life in Our Creative World: Forming Christian Imagination through the Arts. This Cohort will meet approximately once a month on Friday evening and include dinner and childcare.
