INDUSTRY COHORTS

 Industry cohorts are short-term (usually 8-week) programs designed to move participants in the same direction as the full, 9-month Boston Fellows program—equipping them to serve God and neighbor in the working world through spiritual formation, intellectual and professional development, and a community of peers.

However, industry cohorts require a lower level of commitment, while also providing the opportunity to go deeper with peers working in their same professional field of service. As such, these cohorts are ideal for alumni of the full program, as well as those not able to commit to the full program at this time.

Participation in an industry cohort entails a commitment to these elements:

  • Daily personal devotional/meditational disciplines, following a common format. (About 15+ minutes daily.)

  • Readings/assignments before the weekly meeting—about 20-30 pages weekly.

  • Weekly meetings around shared refreshments or a meal, discussion of reading, sharing and prayer for one another. (About 90 minutes/meeting.)

1. STEM

Spring 2024 series: Dates TBD

Do you work in STEM, or a related field, or are you just interested in science/technology? Join Boston Fellows for the spring term STEM Cohort.  For 6 Sunday afternoons, we’ll gather for rich theological and practical conversations about how to live out our Christian faith in contexts shaped by science and technology, facilitated by a curriculum of technological, practical, and devotional readings.

Six weeks, Sundays, 4p-6p,

Park Street Church, 1 Park Street, Boston

Tuition is $50 for new cohort members, $25 for returning members. This covers printed readings and registration for the cohort.  

Facilitated by Connor Wood. (See his Substack Culture, Uncurled.)
