PROGRAM Description, Dates, and Costs

The program spans nine months (September-May). Fellows commit to

(1) read 50+ pages of graduate-level, theologically-informed writing (or audio/video presentations) weekly

(2) practice assigned personal devotional disciplines of 15+ minutes daily

(3) participate in the program schedule:

• Weekly roundtable discussions of ancient and modern texts applying the Bible and theology to work, culture, and personal life in a small-group cohort facilitated by a Boston Fellows staff member or partner: God’s commitment to his Creation, the importance he gives to their work, why the needs of the most vulnerable matter to God, our role in culture-making, and how to bring change and maintain hope in a world of fallen institutions. Fellows gather to share food, discuss the week's readings, apply truth to their lives, pray for and encourage each other.

• A monthly “Teaching Saturday” for greater depth and community-building, featuring recognized speakers, bringing together all participating cohorts. Our roster changes yearly. Among past presenters: 

  • Rick Barry, Executive Director, Center for Christian Civics

  • Mia Chung, Pianist, Educator, Writer, Leader

  • Karen and Glenn Cook, Owners, Cider Hill Farm

  • John Dyer, author, From the Garden to the City

  • Andrew Sears, Executive Director, TechMission; President, City Vision University

  • Amy L. Sherman, Ph.D, Senior Fellow, Sagamore Institute for Policy Research

• Three spiritual formation weekends to go deeper still, as a group and individually, hearing from God and enjoying his creation through outdoor recreation, and connecting with one another.
