Nurture your faith journey and growth by taking time to practice the spiritual discipline of sabbath.

Self-Designed Cohort Retreat Grant
A grant for small groups of New Worshiping Community Leaders to attend a retreat or learning experience together.
1001 invites small groups of at least 3 participants to self-organize for a retreat to learn and rest together. Existing 1001 cohorts may apply for this grant, or a group of leaders within the movement with a common interest or curiosity may choose to organize and apply together.
To begin the process, leaders must choose a cohort name and begin a plan for the retreat including anticipated dates before applying for the grant. Participants will apply individually. If awarded, each participant will receive up to $1000 which will be disbursed through the participant’s partner presbytery.
Leaders are not eligible for a Self-Designed Cohort Grant and a Sabbath/Sabbatical Grant in the same year.
Deadline to apply is November 10! Apply Here
