Planter Training
Every planter is fully prepared to be a healthy leader of a transformational and multiplying church.
One of the primary reasons planters struggle and fail is due to a lack of adequate preparation. It is our ambition that every planter and planter spouse is well prepared and trained for the journey before them.
Our training process involves a six-month small group cohort led by licensed trainers. This best-in-class training is built around 12 essential competencies necessary for the successful planting of a church.
- Kingdom Focused — Evaluating your motives and embracing a Kingdom-first mindset
- Kingdom Character — Modeling a leadership lifestyle worth imitating
- Missional Engagement — Understanding the makeup of your target community and developing a missional engagement strategy
- Missional Vision — Casting a clear and compelling vision that flows from a burden for your community
- Reproducible Sustainability — Creating a movement that will outlast you
- Teambuilding — Recruiting and creating a healthy missionary team
- Values — Evaluating your values and integrating them into the DNA of your church
- Disciplemaking — Being intentional about making disciples who make disciples
- Bold Faith — Leading with bold faith that takes prayerful risks
- Systems and Structure — Developing measurable systems and structures to support the vision
- Effective Contextual Communication — Communicating for kingdom impact
- Fundraising Partnership — Helping planters effectively enlist partners to fulfill their church planting vision
In addition to training, planters are paired with a licensed coach who will support them throughout their training and continue with them throughout much of their planting journey.
