Cohorts
We believe that growth takes place over time and in the context of a learning community. We offer a variety of cohort-based learning opportunities for men and women leading in the church, leading in the marketplace, and training for vocational ministry.
Registration takes place each Fall for the Culture & Theology and Vocational Ministry Cohorts
Culture and Theology Cohorts allow us to dig deeper and spend more time working through culturally relevant topics like sexuality and race. These cohorts run the course of the school year and meet monthly for two hours. Intensives 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 23-24 year cohort: Life in the City: Living the Way of Jesus Today. This Cohort will meet once a month on Friday evening and include dinner and childcare.
Culture & Theology 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.
Vocational Ministry Cohort
Registration takes place in the Spring for the Marketplace Cohort and Marriage Cohorts
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 hands-on projects to impact our neighborhoods and city.
The next cohort begins September 2024 and runs through May 2025. Learn more below.
Marketplace 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.
