Bring Connect 12 to your church, campus, or community.
We’ll equip you to launch a friendship-first, pressure-free cohort that strengthens young adults and rebuilds the path to marriage.
Why Host a Cohort?
Serve young adults with a healthier alternative to dating culture
Strengthen community by fostering genuine friendships and accountability
Plant seeds for future marriages and families that stabilize your community
What You Need

A consistent space (home, classroom, fellowship hall, community room)
12‑week window (one evening per week, 3–4 hours)
Hospitality basics (kitchen access helpful but not required)
Willingness to uphold the model:
Not a dating program
No 1‑on‑1 / no pairing off

No dating within the cohort during the program
Maintain a drug-free environment
