Summer Teaching Cohort
Campus ministers and college chaplains are warmly invited to the Campus Ministry Teaching Cohort, June 24–26, 2026, at LaGrange College.
This continuing education gathering offers a rich blend of worship, shared meals, engaging classes, meditation and prayer, and meaningful fellowship—all designed to refresh your spirit and strengthen your ministry.
While this year’s class topics are still being finalized, past sessions have explored practical and impactful themes such as building thriving ministry systems, developing effective evaluation tools, supporting student mental health, and cultivating contemplative practices.
Join colleagues from across the region for a time of learning, connection, and renewal, with insights you can carry directly into your campus ministry work.
