Grow closer to Him than ever before.
You believe in God, but you’re not sure how to walk more closely with Him.
Or you’ve been walking closely with Him on your own, and you know you need community to stay on track for the long haul.
Either way, you don’t have to do this alone. The cohort is a shared journey of relationships, prayer, and simple rhythms that help you follow Jesus in everyday life, all online, wherever you live.
Start with the free 50-minute webinar so we can get to know you. Then join the next cohort, January 10 through late February 2027.
Most of us never meant to drift. Life got busy, a season got hard, church got skipped, and now God feels further away than we want Him to be. You want to walk closely with Him today, and stay on track with Him over the long term.
Staying on track with God is not about trying harder. It is about staying close to the Shepherd and putting down roots that hold when life shakes.
You belong and grow at GateCity Buckhead, even if you cannot be with us in person. Each cohort has its own theme, and you are welcome to take part in more than one. The January cohort fits the heart of every Digital Discipleship Cohort perfectly: starting the year off walking with Jesus.
