Level Up Preaching Cohorts are primarily focused on preachers and parachurch leaders. We also include those who serve as associate ministers, student ministers, elders, and regular contributors to a church or parachurch preaching team.

Between the monthly group cohort meeting lasting 60-90 minutes and the one-on-one meeting with the mentor lasting around one hour, the total time commitment in Zoom meetings will be 2-3 hours per month. If the cohort member so chooses, there are also select preaching videos to watch, online articles to read, and practical exercises to explore.

Yes. CCL Level Up Cohorts are under the oversight and administration of Central Bible University (CBU). By completing, retaining, and submitting a portfolio of all assignments and activities, participants may be eligible to receive, upon an approved assessment, “Credit for Prior Learning,” which would count for one 3-hour graduate course toward the Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership at CBU. (If you are interested in graduate credit, contact the Dean of the Russell School of Ministry at CBU to work out a sufficient portfolio.)

If something happens that completely prevents you from participating in the future, please notify your preaching mentor, and we will adjust accordingly.
