What is a Compelling Preaching Cohort?
The Compelling Preaching Cohorts program at The Institute for Faith, Leadership, and Service at Azusa Pacific University is a 9-month hybrid program for pastors, preachers, and ministry leaders of varying experience and different denominational backgrounds. Each cohort will engage with reading and video material provided by APU scholars and seasoned practitioners. They will meet once a month online to unpack, process, and sharpen one another’s preaching perspectives and skills.
In the cohorts you will:
- Have access to peer learning of common affinity
- Engage in collaborative and focused sermon feedback
- Receive guidance from an experienced facilitator
- Explore various topics around preaching within a community of preachers
The Compelling Preaching Cohorts program is designed to support pastors/preachers of common affinity as they journey and learn together; creating space for mutual collaboration, resource-sharing, sermon feedback, and encouragement.

Why Join a Cohort?
Our team, at the Institute for Faith, Leadership, and Service, is asking the question: Would the overall health and flourishing of pastors and preachers increase if they were to be involved in Preaching Cohorts?
Reasons to join a cohort might include, but not be limited to, connecting with and learning from other preachers and scholars, desiring to sharpen one’s preaching skills, exploring the diversity of preaching forms and methods, and connecting, encouraging, and networking with ‘similar others’ who are seeking to preach God’s Word faithfully and effectively.
