In an ever-evolving religious landscape, the church needs leaders who can navigate complexity with resilience and adaptive leadership skills. To equip the next generation of leaders with these qualities, Methodist Theological School in Ohio has developed the Liturgy and Leadership Field Education Cohort Program.

Funded with an Innovative Institutional Development Grant of $295,538 from the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of the United Methodist Church through the Ministerial Education Fund, the program is presented by United Methodist pastors Rachel Billups and Matt Rawle, built upon their deep-rooted dedication to creativity and innovation within the church.
