CHURCH PLANTING STAGES

Connect with a Coach/Mentor

  • Once someone completes the form to share their idea for a church plant, the connecting process begins.

  • A representative from the District Ministry Strategy Team (DMST) will contact you and connect you with a coach/mentor.

  • The coach will be an experienced church planter who will help through the connecting, creating, building, and launching process.

Join a Network of Church Planters

  • The District Mission Strategy Team has organized a network of church planters who meet together online

  • The gatherings are for sharing experiences, encouraging one another, discussing strategies, and celebrating victories

Attend Church Planting Conferences / Workshops

  • Everyone in the Connecting process will receive updates about available conferences being held throughout the country.

  • These are great opportunities to not only gain more information but also meet other church planters in person.

  • Those in the process will also receive information about further training opportunities that may help in the development of a plan.

Visit another Church Plant for a Hands-on Experience

  • Every year, new churches are being planted.

  • Each church is unique in its location, style, model, and culture.

  • The coach/mentor will connect the candidate with a church to visit that may share similar attributes.
