SUMMARY:Cultivate 2026
DESCRIPTION:Ericka Henry (multiplication coordinator) shares more about the goals and motivation for Cultivate 2026.\n\n\n\nCultivate 2026 is a national Brethren in Christ gathering designed for those sensing a call to church planting\, multiplication\, or revitalization—as well as leaders who have recently launched new works (within the past two years). This weekend will create space for prayer and discernment\, denominational resourcing\, and meaningful connection with others taking next steps in this work. \n\n\n\nThe event will be held at The Farminary at Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey. \n\n\n\nParticipation is limited (30–35 spots) and will be shaped through a simple application process where individuals can share their ministry ideas\, stage\, plans\, and hopes. Scholarships will be available for selected participants. \n\n\n\nWe’d especially value your help in identifying people with renewed or emerging vision\, initiatives\, or curiosity around multiplication—those who would benefit from encouragement\, clarity\, and community. \n\n\n\nTo Apply\n\n\n\nTo apply\, complete the Multiplication Initiative Pipeline intake form (linked below) by Friday\, August 14.  \n\n\n\nAll applicants are advised to hold space in their calendar for October 9-11 and will be notified of final decisions no later August 31. \n\n\n\n\nApply
