Our Peer Learning Communities
are intentional communities dedicated to
We believe peer learning sustains clergy through a community of accountability, support, and challenge.
Peer Learning Communities are designed to be a safe place to grow your spiritual, personal, and vocational practices so that you are equipped to Thrive in your ministry. All Peer Learning Communities begin with a face to face gathering. Mentors and Peer Learners train together in the culture of Thriving in Ministry using the tools that help you make the most of the two-year learning experience.The next gathering is September 2020.
Following training and launch, Peer Learning Communities meet via Zoom usually every four to six weeks for two hours.
Thriving designs the learning process for 9 Peer Meetings in a program year with a total of 18 meetings over the two-year cohort. The Learning Community Mentors facilitate each Zoom video call; time together includes creating a sacred space for sharing your context of ministry, reflection among the peer group members on current practices and strategies, discussing learning goals, analyzing case studies, and learning from one another. The Mentors also facilitate the monthly one on one mentoring conversations with each participant. The time commitment for a Thriving participant is three hours per month with the additional time you choose to dedicate to your own reflection, learning, and practicing new leadership approaches.
