Center for Congregational Health: Intentional Interim Ministry

LeaderConnect - CBF's online resource to match churches and ministers.

Initiative for Ministerial Excellence: Cooperative Baptist Fellowship aims to deliver practical help to congregational leaders through the Initiative for Ministerial Excellence. The initiative has a three-pronged approach: peer learning networks, funded sabbaticals and ministry residencies for seminary graduates.

Peer Learning Groups - Peer learning networks meet monthly to provide opportunities for worship, spiritual growth, Bible study, discussion of ministry-related issues and fellowship. The 73 peer learning networks of 10-14 members target ministers in their first seven years of ministry, ministers in rural settings and ministers in multi-staff congregations.

Current - is a group of young Baptist ministers, leaders and divinity students who seek to connect young Baptists through the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. We host an annual retreat, a simultaneous missions project called 11 on 11 and annual gatherings at the CBF General Assembly.
