As a technical artist, it can be easy to focus on all the other details and forget to care for yourself.

That’s why FILO created Cohorts. They are online spaces where you’ll feel seen, known, and valued. In a Cohort, you’ll experience practical coaching, shared best practices, and a community that helps you thrive in both life and ministry.

YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE:

101 Cohorts are designed for small groups of no more than 10 people, journeying together for six weeks of encouragement and growth. Each week, you’ll join a 90-minute Zoom conversation led by a FILO Cohort leader, where you’ll unpack practical topics like team culture, leading yourself, navigating change, and sustaining joy in the middle of hard work. It’s not just about learning best practices, it’s about finding a community that helps you thrive and reminds you why your role matters.

YOUR JOURNEY CONTINUES HERE:

If a 101 Cohort helped you find your footing, a 201 equips you to climb higher. It’s not just about refining your skills, it’s about expanding your capacity as a leader and multiplying your impact in ministry. 201 Cohorts are designed for up to 7 people who have already completed a 101 Cohort. 201 Cohorts run for an extended 8 weeks. You’ll meet in 2-hour sessions with a FILO Cohort Leader and each Zoom gathering includes space to check-in personally, focus on your leadership development and complete practical next-step assignments tailored to help you step into greater effectiveness.

YOUR JOURNEY LEVELS UP HERE:

As a church tech artist, you create space for other people to connect with God, and our FILO team wants to do the same for you. The 301 Cohort Retreat is a 2½-day retreat at Stillwater Reserve, created especially for Cohort alumni who have journeyed through the 101 and 201 Cohorts and are ready for the next step. It brings together everything you love about Cohorts in an extended, unhurried setting. At the retreat, you’ll connect with other like-minded production artists while finding space to rest, recharge, and have some fun. The experience includes a thoughtful balance of structured check-in time, opportunities for 1:1 coaching, recreational activities, and yes, even naptime.*

Join us August 16-19, 2026 at Stillwater Reserve in Newaygo, MI!

*Participants are responsible for arranging and covering their own travel to and from the Grand Rapids Airport (GRR). The retreat registration fee includes ground transportation during the retreat, lodging, meals, and all scheduled activities.

stories of impact

When you join a FILO Cohort, you also gain access to an exclusive Slack workspace – a private hub where you can stay connected with your Cohort group and nearly 250 other Cohort alumni. It’s more than just another chat thread; it’s a living community where church technical artists share solutions, troubleshoot challenges, celebrate wins, and encourage one another.

Join a small community of church technical artists to inspire and encourage each other to the next level of effectiveness.

Advent can feel like a sprint for Church Technical Artists—long days, tight deadlines, and the pressure to make every service flawless.

But while you’re pouring yourselves out, who’s pouring into you?

This season, we’ll send short, soul-filling encouragements to help you pause, breathe, and refocus on the One this is all about. You’re doing holy work, but you’re not meant to do it on empty. Let this be your reminder to slow down and spend a few quiet moments with Jesus. You need it—and you deserve it.
