Leader Cohorts

The cost is $500-$750 per person depending on church size, billed annually. This includes all cohort sessions, access to curated resources, tools, and content, personalized support from the GON team, and meeting summaries so you stay connected even if you miss a session.

Each GON cohort is carefully organized. We group leaders based on shared characteristics like church size, structure, and stage of global engagement so every conversation is relevant, peer-driven, and grounded in real context.

Groups typically include six to nine leaders who bring diverse experience but face similar realities. That common ground builds trust, sparks challenge, and leads to insight you can actually use.

Each cohort meets once a month for one hour, virtually. That’s it! No prep, no homework, no extra assignments. Just one focused hour with trusted peers who understand what you’re carrying.

It’s a low time commitment with a high return: clarity, insight, and support you can bring straight back to your church and put to use.

This isn’t a download of content. It’s a space for honest dialogue and real-time leadership growth. GON cohorts are peer-based, not platform-based. You’re not listening to presenters. You’re engaging with other leaders who are wrestling with the same challenges you are.

It’s not about best practices in theory. It’s about sharpening your thinking, challenging old models, and building something that actually works for your church and your global partners.

Life happens. If you have to miss, just let your group know in advance. The meeting will be recorded and recapped so you can stay in the loop. With that said, people are counting on you to be there regularly. This only works when everyone shows up consistently, honestly, and ready to engage.

Each monthly session lasts one hour and follows a simple, consistent rhythm. Some months feature a Spotlight Conversation where one leader brings a real-time challenge, question, or opportunity to the group for reflection, insight, and practical feedback. Other months are Practice Sessions where the cohort walks through a GON tool or framework together, applying it directly to their church’s context.

We open each meeting with a brief check-in and close with shared takeaways. Sessions are recorded and summarized so you can stay connected, even if you miss a meeting.

Not at all. GON cohorts are for leaders from churches of all sizes,, full-time, part-time, bi-vocational. Whether you’re the primary mission lead or part of the team supporting the work, there is a group for you.

What matters most isn’t your title or role. It’s your desire to lead global outreach with clarity and conviction. We curate cohorts accordingly, forming groups specifically for senior leaders and others for staff and team-level practitioners doing the work in the trenches.

Yes. While each cohort seat is designed for individual engagement, multiple leaders from the same church can join, especially if they bring different perspectives or roles.

For example, a global outreach Director might join one cohort focused on vision and strategy, while a staff member handling logistics, communications, or systems participates in another group more aligned with day-to-day execution. Both leaders gain, and so does your church.

If you’re leading global missions and often feel like no one else really understands what you do, you’re not alone. Many leaders tell us they’d never met anyone else in a similar role until they found the Global Outreach Network.

GON cohorts are built for leaders who want more than ideas. They want clarity, connection, and a place to both learn from others and speak into the challenges they’re facing. If you're ready to grow, contribute, and build something healthier for your church and your partners, this is for you.
