The UCity Growth Cohort is a hands-on way to discover what it truly means to live as a disciple of Jesus. God has made you unique, and He longs for you to step fully into His Kingdom work. In the Growth Cohort, we’ll help you uncover what that looks like for your life and identify the faithful next steps you can take to grow.
This cohort is designed like a spiritual retreat — one Friday evening and a full Saturday set apart to step away from the busyness of life, be poured into, and seek God’s direction for your journey.
