A Normalizing Next™ Cohort is a six-month group of clergy meeting together once each month in person or virtually to focus on subjects from the cohort curriculum: Normalizing Next™: A Post-COVID-19 Resource for Church Leaders. 

Join cohort leader Olu Brown and guest presenters for this amazing journey of exploration and innovation.

As the world has shifted, so should our leadership and ministry to meet an ever-changing landscape. To meet this challenge, recognizing and normalizing this next is paramount to the health and future of the Church.
