Thriving Prophetically

The focus of Thriving Prophetically is to connect individuals who are working in justice-related areas of ministry and equipping them through peer-led, group mentoring cohorts. The Juvenile Justice Leadership Cohort supports Youth Pastors and leaders who work with youth in the criminal justice system.聽 The Covenant聽Justice Coalition connects ECC churches together in a support network as they pursue justice in their context. We continue to develop the 鈥淪eminary in Prison鈥� model by creating cohorts of free and incarcerated students to learn from each other and alongside each other through our new School of Restorative Arts in Stateville Correctional Center.

Covenant Justice Coalition

The CJC will be made up of cohort triads, creating an intentional way for churches to support and learn from each other as they pursue the work of Justice together. Each Triad will choose the Justice issue they feel works best in their own context. The ECC is working together to address larger social issues with the understanding that Pastors can thrive prophetically when working in partnerships.
