The LOVEboldly Fellows Program is a nine-month cohort learning experience for ten (10) ministry leaders, including pastors, ministry professionals, and those preparing for calls in ministry, particularly people serving in or called to serve in congregational ministries. This opportunity is specifically designed for cis-gender and/or heterosexual pastors, ministry leaders, and seminarians who want to increase their engagement with the LGBTQIA+ community.
The program will require a time commitment of approximately 3-5 hours per month. Each month will consist of three experiences:
An exclusive, off-the-record educational webinar (via Zoom).
A small group session with the other fellows to build community and share experiences (via Zoom).
A one-to-one coaching session with the program coordinator (Zoom or in-person).
With the exception of in-person events in June and November, all other sessions will be offered virtually. LOVEboldly will accommodate people who absolutely cannot attend in person to the best of our ability.
While the experience is valued at $1,000 to $1,500 per fellow, through a grant LOVEboldly is able to offer the program for only a $100 deposit per fellow. Note: Fellows will be responsible for any costs related to two in-person events (in June and November) in Columbus, OH.
