College Pioneer Cohort

Today, more college students than ever before are unfamiliar with, skeptical of, or disconnected from the Christian faith. What if there were a way to bridge that gap, meet students where they are, and invite them into a meaningful exploration of faith?

At the intersection of innovation and faith lies Fresh Expressions—a movement that seeks to create new, vibrant forms of Christian community. Our mission is to connect this transformative work with existing campus ministries, reaching students in fresh and relevant ways. This is where we need you.

The College Pioneer Cohort is a 4-month training designed for Christians who are ready to venture into uncharted waters and break new ground in college ministry. Whether you’re a student, leader, or passionate follower of Christ, this cohort will equip you to create new expressions of Christian community—spaces where faith can be explored, shared, and lived out in ways that resonate with today’s college students.

As a member of the Pioneer Cohort, you will:

• Learn how to connect with college students who are distant from traditional expressions of faith.
• Gain practical tools for building relationships that foster trust, curiosity, and deeper conversations about life and spirituality.
• Explore new models of ministry that break away from the status quo and embrace creativity, authenticity, and intentionality.
• Be part of a supportive community that is passionate about creating lasting change on college campuses.

What can we expect?

You can expect to roll up your sleeves and try some things! This Cohort is not just about listening to teaching and taking notes—you will be encouraged to spend time every week in your community, applying the ideas that you’ve learned. You will also have the opportunity, the accountability, and encouragement that comes from sharing your experience with your peers.
