Pastor,
As a pastor myself, I know the challenges ministry can bring, not only to your leadership but to your family. As church leaders, we need a tribe to belong to — a community where pastors strive for leadership health and church growth, together. More than ever pastors need each other to navigate the difficult challenges of ministering to a broken.

Here, in our monthly cohorts, you will find:

Support

A certified Church Boom coach will walk with. you each month to help you in the ministry challenges you face. Get the support you need to experience the growth you want.

What others are saying —

"It's not easy pastoring a church, and Church Boom makes it easier. They helped me see I wasn't the only pastor struggling, and they gave me the resources I needed to grow!"

Rob Shepherd

Lead Pastor | Next Level Church, Virginia

"Coming into this cohort one of the biggest challenges I was facing was regarding vision about what the future looked like for our church and what God wants to do in our church/community. As I've been in the cohort this year, it has really helped me to open up to God's plans for the future and dream about what might lie ahead. Additionally, I feel that I am learning about essential elements and tools for leading our church into a place of health and growth."

Eric Zimmer

Lead Pastor | Grove Church, Ohio

"Having the structure of gathering together online with the cohort helps me to make time in my schedule to sit down and process the different topics - time that might have easily been taken up with the demand of the urgent if it weren't for the commitment of the meeting time with the cohort. Hearing from other pastors who are experiencing some similar situations as us, it really helps to not feel alone and to normalize our experience."
