Opportunities Through CBF Global
Peer Learning Groups
Peer Learning Groups (PLGs) provide an opportunity for ministers to form together, shaping one another through opportunities of worship, spiritual formation, discussion of ministry-related issues and fellowship. Currently, through CBF Global, there are over 100 PLGs of 5-12 members. New groups are being formed and additional members are welcome. Each group, facilitated by a convener, works collaboratively to determine the focus of their meetings and/or retreats. The Fellowship provides the groups with suggested resources related to promoting pastoral excellence and congregational health.
