Has your congregation been hoping to start, revitalize, or expand your ministry to the students, alumni, faculty or staff of the nearby college but you don’t know where to start? The Vinery 2-year cohort would be the perfect program to guide, support and equip your leadership team to minister to your university neighbors. This 24-month journey begins with an annual in-person gathering February 21-24, 2027 at Epworth by the Sea on St. Simon’s Island, Georgia, and offers monthly virtual learning gatherings, individual coaching and consulting for your church, resources and much more.

The cost of the 2-year cohort is normally $1,500 a year (or $125 a month) plus the cost of travel for your team of 2-3 to the annual gathering.

SPECIAL OFFER: Through the generous support from the Lilly Endowment, The Vinery is waiving first-year participation fees for the first 10 congregations that complete the short registration form by November 5, 2026.* All your congregation would be responsible for the first year would be the cost of travel to the annual event. 

CLICK HERE to register for our next cohort, commencing February 21-24, 2027.
