Quest: Explore Church Planting
Although not required, this one-day overview of the basics of church planting has been proven to be an invaluable part of the deployment process.
Behavioral Interview
Planter singles and couples discover strengths and areas that need development through a four-hour interview led by trained assessors. Further recommendations will be made based on the overall results of the interview.
Church Planter Training
Church Planter Training is designed and presented by successful practitioners. Three days of critical pre-deployment training will help you and your team design action plans for a healthy, evangelistic, multiplying new church. Full participation of the lead church planter is required to be considered for funding.
