Ministry Resources
eSquared Church Leaders Seminars
These day-long Encourage and Equip seminars are held at the Pepperdine campuses in Irvine and San Jose throughout the year. Topics and speakers vary.
Ministers' Marriage Enrichment
The pressing demands of ministry often leave ministry couples struggling to prioritize their relationship, which can quickly lead to marital disconnection and distress. The Minister's Marriage Enrichment is a two-day getaway offering couples an opportunity to prioritize their relationship, granting it the attention and nourishment needed for connection and growth.

Thriving in Ministry: Sanctuary Cohorts
The Office of Church Relations has received a grant from the Lilly Endowment to participate in their Thriving in Ministry Initiative, an effort to help ministers working in their congregations flourish in their roles as pastoral leaders. Each year, a small cohort of Church of Christ ministers from a specific region are selected to participate in a year-long program under the direction of Mike Cope.
Youth Ministry Network
The Youth Leadership Initiative team provides retreats for area youth ministers twice a year (Fall and Spring) to provide education and fellowship.
