A coaching cohort is a relational group of everyday people who gather together on a regular basis for ongoing encouragement, growing deeper, and accountability through supportive conversations. Visit our Coaching Process page for more information on upcoming sessions
There is no fee or subscription needed to join a cohort, but there is a time of commitment involved to engage with the other people in your cohort.
Coaching cohorts meet on a regular basis, they usually meet every week for a number of weeks. These have varied in length, but they are always consistent in the rhythm so that training experiences are not lost and the groups are bonding and becoming “family”.
A microchurch is a small community of Jesus-followers who have joined together to pursue some facet of the Mission of God. It is the most basic expression of the Church.
A Discovery Bible Study(DBS) is a disciple-making tool where ordinary people can bring transformation to spiritually-hungry people, families, groups, and communities. It is a great way to share the good news of Jesus and form new disciples in an interactive, Holy Spirit-led format. In a DBS group, spiritually-interested people read a Bible story together, discover what it says, and then are challenged to immediately live out what they learned and share it with someone else. Through DBS, we shift from knowledge-based discipleship to obedience-based discipleship.
You are not limited in your relationships and activities with anyone else. Being a part of a DBS or DBG doesn’t mean you have to stop attending another church or gathering.
By our ecclesial minimum, we simply mean to outline the bare essentials of “church.” We believe there are three essentials for a group of people to be considered a local church: where we see worship, mission, and community overlap, we see the church of Jesus.
PEACE Communities does have a board, and the board oversees certain aspects, such as programs, trainings, development …etc.
We believe every micro-church is autonomous, called and gifted by God to be a part of His mission. We honor this and our goal is to equip and support leaders ongoingly so that they can obey their God given calling.

We empower the micro-church to celebrate baptism and take communion regularly within one’s own micro-church family.
Living missionally is not leaving the “faith”, but looking at what “faith” means. Our faith is not in a building, but in our relationship with Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Living missionally gives us the opportunity to share the Gospel outside of the four walls and out into our neighborhoods, workplaces and contexts. We carry the light that has been given to us by our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, and we demonstrate the compassion of God’s love for all people in all walks of life, wherever we are.
No degrees are needed. Just as the disciples demonstrated, God is more interested in the condition of our hearts than in the head knowledge the world may have said is vital. Our relationship with God is critical to living a missionally satisfying life with others, following the pattern of Jesus Christ, and partnering with Him.
It is about being spiritual families. Jesus invites us to live life in a community where we are known, loved, and empowered to extend the love of God to those around us.
The Christian life cannot be lived alone, nor can it be carried out as one person in a larger crowd, which is the context of many North American church gatherings. Instead, the best venue for living as disciples of Jesus happens in the context of a smaller group of disciples, mutually committed to growing each other’s lives and faith and pursuing God’s mission together.
