Summit & Guides
The Church Sustainability Cohorts kick off with a Summit focused on shared learning with other congregations. CBF provides the resources and facilitators for the Summit, while the participating congregations cover the costs of lodging and meals. Is your church prepared to send 3-4 representatives to the launching Summit?

Participating congregations have the option to covenant with a Church Sustainability guide. The guide will lead four church-wide conversations, coach the congregational team, and facilitate comprehensive assessments to help inform potential pathways forward. The covenant fee is $2,000, which covers all the expenses associated with guide services. CBFNC will pay an additional $2,00 for the guide services. While having a guide is not a requirement for participation in the initiative, they are valuable resources for your church as you navigate the process of discovering your next most faithful step, offering critical insight, teaching, and coaching. Is your church interested in learning more about covenanting with a Church Sustainability guide?
