OAGroup was founded by pastors gathering together
and we believe that when pastors are in relationship with each other, regardless of ecumenical background, that they can have the friendship, outlet, and relationships that can lead them to thriving in ministry. And when Pastors thrive, congregations can thrive, and when our congregations thrive, the city will flourish. No matter your denomination, your race, gender, theology, praxis,
these opportunities are here to serve YOU as a pastor.

PASTOR ROUNDTABLES
OAGROUP hosts pastors around tables – completely un-programmed – in order to give space to discuss the things that you are facing as a faith leader in our community. We'll provide the space (and the food), and invite you to meet those pastoring and leading and facing the unique challenges that this season presents. For more information, click the button below.
Welcome to LINC
LINC (Leaders in Nashville Connecting) exists to bring pastors together to build community, engage in hard topics, and learn from our neighbors in order
to mobilize congregations for
deeper impact within the city of Nashville.
We recognize the unique leadership strain placed on pastors in today's world.

By building a supportive and challenging community of care, LINC will impact your faith, strengthen your leadership, and deepen
your relationships.
The next LINC Cohort launches:
July 2022
For the cohort to build relationships and have honest conversations, we ask you to prioritize your participation.
LINC will meet in-person the first Thursday of each month beginning with an overnight retreat and continuing to meet for the first half of the day on those Thursdays. In addition to the monthly gaterhings there will be opportunities to engage content and with one another through our online platform.

ALL DATES ARE MANDATORY
If you cannot attend one of these dates, we ask that you wait for a later cohort!
We know that life happens, and things can emerge, but we ask that you protect these dates and times as much as possible to get the most out of our time together. There will be opportunities to engage online in between in-person gatherings throughout the month, but we won’t be adding any more Zoom calls to your already busy digital spaces.
Cohort Participation Fee
We don't want price to be an issue, and we realize it has been a challenging year! So if the cost is prohibitive for your congregation, please apply and let us know in the comments.
