Church Planting Course

God has a very specific plan in how He wants to build His Church. We have the incredible privilege of preparing her for Him, but with that comes a great responsibility. Part of this course looks at the godly foundations needed to build according to God’s blueprint rather than man’s ideas. This course helps us align our hearts to God’s, because it’s not our church, it’s His. The vision is to see God raise a generation who will live to see His Kingdom come, through the vehicle God has chosen, His church.

Who Is It For?

The church planting course is for every believer who has felt the call of God on their life to plant a church or outreach community, or to support a new plant, and even those looking to better support their current church and leadership team. Encourage your saints and leaders to access and share this resource.
