ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· president John K. Jenkins Sr. has made it his signature priority to invest in helping churches across our movement develop a culture of evangelism and discipleship.

Equipping pastors for culture change

ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· has begun a multi-year process to train and equip lead pastors to engage in church culture change. has a proven track record of success in helping churches grow in conversion and evangelism. They have worked with approximately 600 churches, including almost 125 African American churches.

Engage in a cohort: commitment & cost

Throughout a comprehensive two-year program designed to shift the culture within your church, you will participate in monthly meetings with fellow ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· pastors. This equates to nine meetings annually, comprising eight 2-hour sessions conducted via Zoom and one face-to-face gathering each year. This process is designed to enhance your personal witness and guide your congregation toward adopting evangelism as a natural and intentional aspect of every church ministry.

The Church Evangelism Institute (CEI) is provided a grant that significantly reduces the cost for this cohort to $1,800 per church per year ($150 per month). Additionally, scholarships are available that can further lower your annual cost to $1,200 if needed.

We will launch cohorts in the fall of 2024, winter of 2025, and fall of 2025. Space is limited, so prayerfully make the choice and plan to engage. You won’t regret it.

We pray that this initiative will mobilize pastors and churches toward greater gospel impact, where every disciple of Christ is equipped and mobilized to make new disciples.
