Seven Weeks | October 1 – November 12, 2024
This small group, fully immersive, online training will give you tools for facilitating courageous conversation in cross-cultural situations, engaging complex topics, and strengthening the convergence of worship, preaching, and justice in your life and ministry. Upon successful completion of this seven-week training, you will be an Authorized Facilitator with access to the First Things curriculum for Micah Group style groups of diverse church leaders (or for any type of group you would like to assemble), First Things for Flourishing for use with non-clergy groups, and the full Doing Justice series. Cost includes the First Things, First Things for Flourishing, and Doing Justice: Racism curriculums (a $165 value), an online Facilitator Training guide, a training kit that will be mailed to your home or office, and 17.5 hours of guided online instruction in a small group of 8-12 people.
Successful completion of training requires 4-6 hours of weekly homework in addition to attendance at seven, 2.5-hour webinar meetings.

Micah Group Facilitator Training will help prepare you to:
- Create a learning community for yourself and others engaging in the convergence of worship, preaching, and justice;
- Foster a sacred space for courageous conversation around the urgent and complex issues of our day—whether for other church leaders or for groups within your church or ministry community;
- Deepen pastoral relationships that reach across gender, ethnic, socioeconomic, and denominational lines;
- Enhance the unity and witness of the broader church in your community; and
- Develop new tools for helping to foster an authentic, vulnerable group experience in an online environment.
