Individual Partnership

“Jesus Collective offers me a chance to collaborate with leaders who have a shared set of theological values but who bring differing gifts and experiences to the table. I find great joy in growing with and learning from Jesus-centered leaders from various contexts. It reminds me that I’m not alone. And I like making friends!”

– Kurt Willems, Pastor, Writer, Host of Theology Curator Podcast

“Jesus Collective has broadened my view of God’s kingdom… I love the centrality of Jesus in everything, but I also love the non-judgemental openness to other per​spec​tives​.In many ways, I feel that I now see the kingdom of God in colour while in the past I saw mostly in black and white!”
