Cluster Networks

There's a cluster for you

Clusters create a resourced network of leaders through online and on-site meetups, training and mentoring sessions. Clusters are an opportunity to build relational equity, experience peer support, and build the capacity to lead healthy and effectively.

1. Provide Relational Support

Some of the most important parts of ministry are also the hardest to do in isolation. Clusters provide life-giving interaction with peers who are in step or a one-step ahead of you.

2. Connect with Purpose

Our aim in the BCYD is to develop a legion of leaders whose passion is to obey the Great Commission, lead prevailing relentlessly, outbound ministries, and raise up the next generation of adaptive leaders.

3. Encourage Personal Development

Clusters support leaders in the BCYD to skill up through trainings, and receive support and coaching on some of the biggest internal and external challenges in ministry.

What guides clusters?

The following values and best practices provide the guidelines for each Cluster.

Cluster Values
