What's Included in the 2026 Cohort?
Learning in Community with Other Churches
In Between Retreats
In past years, CLC has included in-person retreats. In 2026, we will survey all the congregations engaged and develop a program that works best for them. The program could include in-person multiple-day retreats, single-day retreats, and/or online learning. All options will include opportunity to learn and reflect with team members, together with other churches who are committed to learning change.
Access to the CLC Central Online Learning Platform Videos, Solitude Guides, and additional resources for use during team meetings.
Up to 10 Coaching sessions per year for your team and/or leaders by trained coaches.
A Faithwalking Foundation Module through the NY Faithwalking Circle are included per year.
​
Additional cost if sessions are done through Faithwalking Central.
​
In-person Faithwalking 101 retreats can also be added if there is enough interest.
Cost: $1800 per church.
Regional Synod and Classis scholarships may be available.

Big Picture: What is it?
"Churches Learning Change" is a corporate transformation journey with similar goals to Faithwalking. Churches Learning Change uses information that is most likely not new to those who have gone to seminary.
What is new is that it is an intentional journey to put that information into practice with a team from a particular setting, in conjunction with other teams from across the region. Information does not transform; we believe information, practice and reflection are all a part of living into the ongoing transformation God has for us!
Come be a part of the journey.
