Welcome to the Executive Pastor Cohort, led by Phil Taylor, seasoned Executive Pastor, leadership coach, and author of “Defining The Executive Pastor Role”. 

This cohort is designed for current Executive Pastors/Second Chair Leaders navigating the complex and often demanding intersection of vision, operations, staff leadership, and church health. 

In this practical, peer-driven learning experience, you’ll journey through the real-world challenges and opportunities faced by XPs, gaining tools, wisdom, and strategies to lead with clarity, confidence, and spiritual integrity.

The cohort will begin on November 5th at 2PM-3:30PM EST and continue every 1st and 3rd Wednesday for ten sessions, finishing just a little bit before Easter 2026. 

What to Expect:

This cohort is intentionally structured to create space for dialogue, peer learning, and actionable insights, while providing a progressive flow of topics critical to the XP role.
