Third Third Flourishing for ECC

Discover what it means to be a good steward in the third third of your life.

What do you envision for the third third of your life? What do you long for? Are you in or approaching retirement and wondering what this means for you? Are you looking for new purpose and meaning? Are you eager to live fully and fruitfully, to make a difference in the world?

The Third Third Flourishing cohort helps you engage this vital season with fresh wisdom and new practices. Grounded in Scripture and drawing from current research on aging, this theologically-rich cohort will help you be a good steward of all God has given you for the third third of your life.

Reach out with any questions, and we hope you’ll join us in a group soon!

This cohort is exclusively for the Evangelical Covenant Church. If you have a general interest in our other cohorts (for business professionals and marketplace leaders), you can be redirected here.

Cohort Pricing and Schedule Details

Thanks to a grant from the Lilly Foundation and in conjunction with the De Pree Center, the ECC is able to offer this $500 cohort experience for $50 to pastors and leaders within the ECC who maintain good ministerial standing. Their commitment to helping pastors thrive has made this resource possible for you.
