CARVE OUT TIME AND FULLY
COMMIT TO THE EXPERIENCE

The 5280 Fellowship is designed to fit the lives of full-time working professionals, outside of traditional workday hours. However, the time commitment is significant. Fellows are asked to attend all Fellowship events; however, accommodations can be made in consultation with the Director. The nine-month Fellowship experience includes several types of learning:

• Twice per month we read ~25 pages on faith and work integration to discuss them in a 2-hour cohort meeting.
• Discuss the assigned reading, personal and professional development, and spiritual disciplines in cohort sessions.
• Monthly we gather for a half-day Saturday teaching session.
  • 8:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at one of the Denver metro host churches
  • Personal reflection exercises for Fellows
  • Group discussions between Fellows
  • In-depth teaching by 5280 Fellowship staff and/or city leaders

• We open/close the Fellowship with weekend Retreats in September and May.
  • Focus on relational connection
  • Uninterrupted time for personal formation and rest
  • Overview and practice of spiritual disciplines
  • Teaching discussions on Fellowship themes

• Each month Fellows practice spiritual disciplines designed to support their life with God through their work — e.g. different types of prayer, silence & solitude, simplicity, gratitude, etc.
• Fellows can attend up to six Community and Culture dinners where we do Q&A learning with city leaders from across industries and the metro area.

*Candidates can indicate a preferred meeting night and geographic location when applying for the Fellowship. We make every effort to accommodate applicants’ schedules.
