Next Frontiers is a Lilly Foundation and Westmont College funded one year program to support mid-career and senior pastors, especially those in transition. “Transition” is broadly defined and can include pastors facing burn out or any life or ministry fluidity.
The program is open to any mid-career or senior pastors, any denomination, anywhere in the USA.
The program costs only a nominal amount and is essentially designed to provide refreshment, collegiality, and mentoring and spiritual direction for busy pastors.
The time commitment is an hour a week total for the coaching and spiritual direction, plus attendance at two in person three-day retreats – the first in February in Santa Barbara and the second in November in Mexico City.
