Revitalization Cohort - 2025
Join with other pastors in a learning cohort!
Revitalization Coaching is excited to launch a one-year Revitalizing Cohort for senior pastors seeking to restore health and growth in their church. We believe that pastoral growth happens best when men gather regularly for intentional training, coaching, and networking.
Beginning in January 2025, James Gleason will lead a cohort of up to 10 senior pastors to equip them with proven methods and resources to help pastors lead their churches to revitalization. His journey of leading a church through this revitalization process and his experience coaching others will be the foundation of our time together.
What You Receive
• 2-hour ZOOM Group consulting each month.
• 1-hour personal coaching over the phone each month.
• A proven coaching process that will lead to a healthier ministry.
• The opportunity to revitalize your church for Kingdom ministry.
We will be looking at the following twelve steps toward a revitalized church:
Step 1: Assess the reality of your situation.
Step 2: Build a prayerful dependence.
Step 3: Reinstate the purpose of your church.
Step 4: Develop a robust discipleship pathway.
Step 5: Restore a Gospel-focused ministry.
Step 6: Exegete and engage your culture.
Step 7: Raise the expectations of membership.
Step 8: Redefine spiritual maturity.
Step 9: Equip and empower your members.
Step 10: Give the leadership away.
Step 11: Engage in inevitable conflict.
Step 12: Continue to refine, align, and redesign.
Due to the demand and purpose of this cohort, not everyone who applies will be accepted. You will be notified of acceptance by email.

“Revitalization is one of the greatest needs in our churches today, but leading a church in the revitalization process is hard work. Don’t do this work alone! Join a cohort with your fellow pastors as James Gleason leads and cares for you in this process. His personal experience and insight into discipleship, leadership, and revitalization will be tremendously helpful and encouraging to you, as it was for me. Any pastor who desires to see their church strengthened and encouraged should take advantage of this opportunity.”
