Church Mentoring
The Church Mentoring Journey takes a relational message of how we are Called 2 Love (from the Great commandment Network) and pairs it with the practical methods and strategies provided by the Acts 2 Journey.
IMAGINE A CHURCH WHERE…
- People are connected through love and trust
- Non-believers feel safe and welcome
- Members take ownership of the mission
- The community values your presence
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Cohorts of regional churches dive deep into five sessions of relational training (from GCN) and practical strategies (from the Acts 2 Journey). Over the course of 18–24 months, pastors participate in life-and-ministry-changing experiences and then share those experiences with their vision team, leadership, and congregation.

WHAT IS A GALATIONS 6:6 RETREAT?
Ministry couples can become so involved in ministry to others, that their personal lives are often neglected. They often miss out on the first part of Matthew 10:8, “Freely you have received...” Galatians 6:6 Retreats are designed to be a time of personal renewal and encouragement for ministry couples. They are one of the ways we hope to live out the calling to "share good things with those who teach."
THIS IS YOUR TIME TO RECEIVE.
The retreat, accommodations, meals and all materials are a GIFT from sponsoring partners.
More than 14,000 ministry couples from around the world have participated in these life-changing, marriage-enriching, ministry-impacting retreats. It's our great privilege to continue this tradition of sharing good things with ministry couples. Retreat content is drawn from Dr. David and Teresa Ferguson’s acclaimed book,
The Great Commandment Principle, Called 2 Love: A 40-Day Journey into Marriage Intimacy, and Intimate Encounters
WHERE ARE THEY?
Galatians 6:6 Retreats are held in various locations within the United States. Location and dates are determined through strategic partnerships with denomination and ministry partners, individual and church sponsors.
