A Message From Our Kahu

Pacific School of Religion Congregational Renewal Cohort

 

Are you interested in deepening your faith and understanding of theology in our rapidly changing world? Are you interested in exploring new models of ministry?
Are you committed to the long-term growth of Koloa Union Church?
Are you willing to work on a project to strengthen our congregation?
Are you willing to commit at most 3-4 hours a week (on average) for 10 months?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, the Congregational Renewal Cohort program has been designed just for you! Koloa Union Church is looking for 3-5 people who will participate in the program together beginning in September. (We already have 3 people who are seriously thinking about it!) PSR will partner with congregations to strengthen their ministries, deepen relationships with their communities, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.

PSR’s Congregational Renewal Cohort is a community-based learning journey specifically for lay leaders, and will be taught on PSR’s new digital platform facilitated by leading theological experts from the PSR faculty. Those who complete the program will receive a certificate of completion and credits toward future degrees at PSR for those who would like to continue their theological education.

Scholarships are available from PSR, Hawaii Conference UCC, Kauai Association UCC, and Koloa Union Church. Estimated cost after scholarships is $500. However, please talk to me or Tiffany if the cost is an issue. If you want to participate, I want to make sure you do!

I would like to have our cohort in place by the end of July, so please prayerfully consider joining the cohort if you feel God’s Spirit leading you in that direction (and for all of the rest of you, please pray for the success of the cohort!).

Aloha Nui Loa!
Kahu
