In a time when faith is often distorted by colonial frameworks and cultural erasure, the Sankofa Cohort dares to ask:
What did we lose when the Church disconnected us from our roots, and what do we gain when we remember?
About our newest cohort
This 10-week guided journey invites pastors, planters, and faith-rooted leaders to recover the wisdom, power, and presence of African spirituality as a vital force in wholistic, justice-oriented ministry. Rooted in the West African concept of Sankofa—which calls us to return and reclaim what is necessary to move forward—we will engage in deep theological exploration, communal reflection, and spiritual healing.
Led by an expert with a Ph.D. in Semitic and Egyptian Languages, this experience is not just academic, it's about spiritual grounding. And it's not just for learning, it's for liberation.
What You’ll Gain:
A decolonized theological lens to shape your ministry
A community of like-minded leaders
A deeper understanding of African spiritual traditions and their intersection with Scripture
The tools to integrate wholistic, Spirit-led practices into your faith leadership
“Our future depends on sharing and spreading life to all peoples. We cannot call God our common Father and live as if some human beings are expendable. We who have met under this theme of justice, peace and the integrity of creation have done so as part of our commitment to stand together and to work.”
