Cohorts coming January 2027

Tending digital ministry, cultivating relational communities

In the broader Church body, many treat the internet as an afterthought. Others have vibrant content, but no community to welcome people into deeper life together. Still more long to serve people online, but don't know where to begin.

The Digital Cooperative Parish is a network of progressive churches, pastors, and experimenters whose virtual front doors open to the internet, learning together how to build real community where people already are. We're forging a different, digital path, one where online ministry is as relational, embodied, and transformative as any sanctuary. At DCP, we share what we learn so no church has to figure it out alone.

Come learn from four innovative leaders of digital forward ministries by participating in learning cohorts, accessing coaching and resources, or joining our digital learning community across platforms.
