Growing through the challenges of ministry together
An interconnected network of
like-minded leaders
Momentum PRO cohorts gather twice a year for two years to learn from expert leaders, brainstorm together through their specific challenges, and intentionally pray and worship with and for each other. Through these gatherings, participants form an interconnected network of like-minded pastors across the nation.
Momentum PRO currently has cohorts for lead pastors, student ministry pastors and directors, with plans to expand to other ministry specialty areas in the future.
We partner with pastors and leaders who are building healthy churches to amplify their Kingdom impact. Let’s re-invent the church together.
Momentum PRO – Resourcing Ministry Professionals for Maximum Impact
Be challenged by
ministry experts
During Momentum PRO cohort gatherings, participants are joined by ministry experts and high-level business leaders who teach and facilitate discussions on the most challenging issues facing churches today. Participants will find themselves in close proximity to these highly sought-after leaders with opportunities to ask questions, dialogue over the toughest topics and engage further, even after our speakers are finished with any formal presentations. Expert guests have included Dr. Juli Slattery, Co-Founder & President of Authentic Intimacy, Ryan Britt, Executive Ministries Pastor at The Church of Eleven22 and Darren Young, President of CRU Canada.
In between gatherings, participants have year-round access to personalized ministry leadership coaching on topics such as multiplying ministries, multi-site expansion, organizational development, and other topics that are imperative for the continued healthy growth of your church.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Momentum PRO specialize in developing current and next-generation leaders?
Church leadership can feel incredibly isolating and heavy, especially when you’re pouring your heart into your congregation week after week. At Momentum PRO, a dedicated ministry of Momentum Ministry Partners, we believe that developing current and next-generation leaders starts with a genuine connection with people who get it. We walk alongside seasoned pastors and emerging leaders through a two-year cohort model designed to refresh your soul and sharpen your skills.
We create a deeply relational space where you can find genuine encouragement, share your burdens, and gain strategic, Kingdom-minded training. Our heart is focused on your long-term ministry health and applying practical theology so you can multiply disciples without burning out.
Here’s how Momentum PRO specifically develops next-generation faith leaders and supports current pastors:
- Intimate Two-Year Cohorts: You’ll gather in person twice a year, building a tight-knit group of like-minded faith leaders who truly understand the specific challenges of life in ministry.
- Ongoing Support Between Gatherings: Between gatherings, you have ongoing access to personalized ministry leadership coaching on topics such as multiplying ministries, multi-site expansion, organizational development, and more.
- Learn From Experts: Our gatherings spotlight ministry experts and high-level business leaders who teach and facilitate discussions on the most challenging issues facing churches today. Past leaders include Dr. Juli Slattery (Co-Founder & President of Authentic Intimacy), Darren Young (President of CRU Canada), and more.
With up to 150 hours of training, Momentum PRO serves as a place of refuge and sharpening. We empower you to lead with renewed spiritual vitality, giving you the tools and community you need to sustain your ministry calling.
What Christian leadership training options are available for church teams through Momentum PRO?
Momentum PRO offers intentional Christian leadership training options specifically designed to nurture the hearts and minds of entire church teams. We know that a healthy, growing church flows directly from healthy, growing leaders. When leaders are spiritually dry, the whole team feels it.
That’s why Momentum Ministry Partners has created targeted cohorts to walk alongside different pastoral and leadership roles, addressing the unique joys and heavy burdens each leader carries on a daily basis. Our overarching goal is to equip your staff with the spiritual and practical tools needed to navigate cultural shifts, foster community engagement, and build ministries that multiply disciples.
Through Momentum PRO, we currently offer specialized environments focused on connection, healing, and strategic growth:
- Senior Pastor Cohorts: A two-year relational journey where lead pastors can safely discuss high-level organizational burdens, navigate tricky Elder Board relationships, and learn how to sustain their own soul’s health in a demanding, lonely role.
- Student Ministry Leader Cohorts: A safe harbor designed specifically for youth pastors and directors to build sustainable rhythms, gracefully integrate students into the wider church family, and foster lasting spiritual formation in the next generation.
- Growing Ministry Tracks: We are actively developing future cohorts to support other specific ministry specialty areas, ensuring every member of your team feels seen, valued, and fully equipped for their calling.
When your church team takes part in a Momentum PRO cohort, the whole church benefits. Don’t wait to give your church leaders the community and training they need!

We carefully curate our teaching team to bring you hard-won wisdom on building thriving, healthy congregations in today’s complex culture. Past speakers and instructors who have graciously shared their hearts and expertise with our cohorts include:
- Dr. Juli Slattery: Co-Founder & President of Authentic Intimacy, offering profound insights into navigating modern cultural shifts and cultivating relational health.
- Ryan Britt: Executive Ministries Pastor at The Church of Eleven22, sharing highly practical wisdom on church operations, healthy staff dynamics, and sustainable leadership.

- Jeff Bogue: President of Momentum Ministry Partners and Senior Pastor of Grace Church of Greater Akron, sharing his pastoral heart and decades of hands-on experience in leading and multiplying healthy churches.
At our gatherings, you can expect good food, comfortable lodging, meaningful teaching, and the undeniable power of community. In the spring, your cohort will meet at a model church, giving you unique access to its staff, leadership, and ministry practices. In the fall, all cohorts come together for a larger event featuring additional speakers and collaborative learning.
As part of the fall gathering, you’ll also have the opportunity to bring your entire church staff to Momentum ONE DAY – a dedicated day of workshops, breakouts, and practical training designed to equip your whole team. We hope you will join us soon!
When does registration open for Momentum PRO, and what is the required commitment?
We warmly welcome interested church leaders to apply for upcoming Momentum PRO cohort cycles at any time. The application is much more than a formality – it is our way of understanding your ministry calling, your current challenges, and how we can best serve you. Once your application is reviewed, our Momentum PRO team will personally connect with you to listen to your story and find the perfect cohort fit.
Joining a Momentum PRO cohort is an intentional commitment of your time and resources, designed to deeply bless both you and your home congregation over the long term. We require the following commitments from our cohort members:
- Two-Year Commitment: We ask for a dedicated two-year commitment, gathering in person twice a year while sharing life and navigating challenges through ongoing online support systems in between.
- Financial Partnership: Joining a Momentum PRO cohort costs $3,000. This completely covers your all-inclusive on-site experiences, including lodging, meals, and activities, so you can truly rest when you are with us.
- Travel Arrangements: While your time at the gathering is all-inclusive, you will be responsible for arranging and funding your own travel to our gathering locations.
- Non-Refundable: Your PRO investment allows us to provide you with two cohort events a year for 2 years. Please understand there are financial commitments made in advance for the planning of these cohorts, and therefore refunds are not available (even if you are not able to attend scheduled events).
Momentum PRO is a transformative community designed to deeply impact spiritual health and leadership longevity. While it requires a meaningful commitment, we believe the experience is well worth the investment for the sake of your ministry.
