An amazing opportunity, consisting of 9 Tuesday mornings via zoom from Oct 17 through Dec 12, 2023 wrapping up with an in-person retreat on Jan 15-17 @ Stillwood Camp & Conference Centre, Cultus Lake, BC Canada.

Registration is now OPEN; enrollment is limited. Pastors will be placed in 6 person cohorts with others of similar life stage and pastoral position/responsibility. Open to pastors in Canada or the USA. Please share this with your Sr. Pastor and/or any associate pastors who might be interested.
Cost: $999 + GST (CAD) which includes:
- 4 volume workbook set ($79)
- FS Church Ministry Resource Kit ($299; If you already have one, you can gift this one)
- FS mentorship/coaching and the experience itself
- in-person retreat ($295/person based on 2 people/room and shared bathroom).

FS cohort experiences occur in gender-specific small groups. We are accepting registrations from male and female pastors and pastor’s wives who are active in ministry with their husbands.
