Welcome to the Charter Oak Church Institute!

 

The Institute offers fall and spring seminars in various categories (Bible, Spiritual Formation, Theology and Leadership) as well as a Cohort Group in the Spring and Fall. There are no educational prerequisites prior to registration.

 

What is the Cohort?

The Cohort attends the Seminars, engages in further discussions in a small-group format as facilitators help participants identify their spiritual gifts, passions and interests; explore how to use them in various ministry-leadership opportunities within the Church, and take concrete steps toward their God-given calling.

​

Deeper engagement in ministry development with intentional hands-on experience is available with paid multi-month internships and year-long residencies.

 

Participation in the Cohort or seminars is open to everyone regardless of your home church.

TESTIMONIALS

The topic and information were so foundational and Pastor Ben presented it all with such enthusiasm and clarity. It was a perfect book and topic for me, pulling together some other things I’ve studied lately- as they say, “the light bulb turned on."
