Ministries
RobbinsNest hosts several different kinds of events and ministries in order to meet the needs of pastors, churches, and Christian leaders that wish to develop an ongoing, interactive, ever-deepening relationship with the triune God.
One-to-One Mentoring
RobbinsNest provides one-to-one mentoring for both new and seasoned pastors. Spiritual guidance takes place through interactive listening and teaching, personalized prayer and encouragement.
Monthly Cohort Groups
RobbinsNest leads monthly cohort groups for pastors and Christian leaders. These intentional times allow leaders to cultivate relationships with each other while focusing on their own spiritual journey.
RobbinsNest Institute
The RobbinsNest Institute offers a Certificate in Spirituality and Ministry for emerging leaders (clergy and laity) who desire to see "progress and joy in the faith" (Philippians 1:25). Because success of the program is measured by the persons that its participants become, the course aims to (1) expand their VISION of the with-God life, (2) build their INTENTION to live as Jesus' disciples, and (3) promote the MEANS of spiritual disciplines.
​
Students form cohort groups (small group communities) that (1) attend weekly meetings (in person or online) , (2) read classic and contemporary books, and (3) listen to selected "Pair-a-Docs Podcasts" hosted by Drs. Steve and Ruth Robbins. In Year One, learners prepare and share a spiritual autobiography. In Year Two, each participant designs, implements, and reports on a ministry project. ​
Retreats and Seminars
RobbinsNest leads retreats and seminars throughout the year, both by hosting annual events like the “B.e. Formed” seminar in October and the Pastors’ Retreat in January, and by facilitating special events requested by pastors, churches, and parachurch organizations.
