Complete this brief application for the 2025 Practically Trained Pastors Cohort with Brian Croft. In it we ask questions about: you personally, your ministry, and your family. It shouldn’t take long to complete but please provide as much detail as possible. If you have questions or concerns as you fill it out feel free to email sean@practicalshepherding.org

Though the cohort is FREE, unfortunately not everyone will be able to participate. With limited space and the purpose of training for those in (or aspiring towards) vocational ministry, not all will be admitted into the cohort.
