Pastor Strong Cohorts

Join Texas Baptists pastors across Texas in a journey to strengthen your ministry and personal resilience through areas of soul-care and leader development.

Discover Strength and Support with the Pastor Strong Cohort

In our Pastor Strong Cohort, you’ll embark on a 5-month journey designed to support you in your ministry and personal resilience. Each month, our conversation will guide you through meaningful discussions and exercises focused on leader development and soul-care. Over four day-long gatherings, you’ll work with peers on the habits and choices necessary for finishing strong in life and ministry. The experience culminates with an unforgettable retreat at Rocky Mountain National Park, including activities like fly fishing, white water rafting, and hiking, providing both rest and rejuvenation for the journey ahead.
