Find the Right Cohort for Your Ministry

Every church context is different, but every church is called to reach people with the gospel.

The Billy Graham Center’s Church Evangelism Institutes offer specialized cohorts designed to equip pastors and ministry leaders with proven strategies, practical tools, and a community of peers committed to evangelistic growth.

Participants engage in immersive learning experiences led by experienced practitioners while developing actionable plans for their churches. The result is greater confidence, stronger ministry leadership, and a more intentional culture of evangelism.
