the Fellowship
SUMMARY
AN EXPERIENTIAL JOURNEY FOR PASTORS & LEADERS
The UNDIVIDED Fellowship is for Pastors and Faith Leaders who desire to lead well on race amidst the polarizing landscape of our times. As leaders, there’s a desire to create cultures that reproduce followers of Jesus who are equipped in the gospel flow of racial healing and justice, seeing it as an outflow of the reconciling message of Jesus.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the fellowship is to foster a space where leaders strengthen, encourage, and comfort one another; can identify, hold, and navigate tension together, and cultivate courage and joy to lead well in the racialized context of our country. This will happen through an experiential learning journey rooted in faith, relationships, and action.
The fellowship is for Christian leaders who love the Church, and don’t need to be convinced about race as a discipleship issue. Each participant will have a strong bias for action to create bigger waves of change that unite and ignite Jesus-followers for racial healing and justice.

TESTIMONIALS
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
Both participants and facilitators have experienced the impact of the UNDIVIDED curriculum and have seen transformation in their personal lives, their communities or workplaces, and their cities. Here are some of their stories.
“UNDIVIDED is one of the most courageous and necessary movements in the Church today. It refuses to settle for surface unity or polite conversations about race and reconciliation. Instead, it calls us to the deep work—spiritual, relational, and systemic—that true unity requires.”
PATRICK
Exponential Leader
“The UNDIVIDED Fellowship has deeply blessed me in so many ways. Meeting national leaders and engaging in spaces to share and receive has been powerful. The opportunity to explore the racial history of our country and connect it to the realities of today has profoundly impacted me.”
VICTOR
Community Developer
“The UNDIVIDED Fellowship was an amazing experience. This is not JUST a historical tour but also a relational experience that is transformational. I believe that this experience is just as impactful if you are just getting started on your journey to understanding racial justice or you are an experienced leader in this area. I walked away feeling like I had new friends on mission and that I received a refilling of hope”
