Are you a curious person? Whether you're in ministry, lay ministry, church administration, or you just enjoy being present for Sunday services, a mindset of curiosity is a powerful one for communities of faith in challenging times.
- Dare to reimagine life within your community of faith as you learn how to:
- Ask questions without needing to know "the" answers
- Improve both your listening and discernment skills, so you can better sense where the Spirit is leading you
- Relinquish control, be courageous, and take a leap of faith into new experiments and ways of looking at what church could look like.
A curious mind opens door to the future. Start the journey with us!"
Curiosity Cohort (Spring 2023)
Curiosity is the mindset change that we, as people of faith, are craving to begin to reimagine what church can be outside of Sunday morning. It keeps us asking questions, without needing to know "the" answers; helps us to relinquish control as we follow the Spirit, listening for guidance and discerning next steps; enables us to take leaps of faith and be courageous as we experiment. The Curiosity Cohort is for innovative leaders, curious communities of faith, and those willing to explore what might be possible!
The Curiosity Cohort is a 5-week, synchronous, experiential learning cohort offered by EDGE and The United Church of Canada.
This Curiosity Cohort runs on Thursdays from 12-1pm EST, Mar 23 - Apr 20, 2023
