  • Listen to audio streams provided by leading church planting experts.
  • Read white papers on key church planting topics
  • Complete online tutorials.

CREATE

  • Start with a detailed template launch plan of over 125 actions most church planters should complete OR create your own custom plan for your plant after completing related training.
  • Select from over 800 actions covering the full-range of everything required to get a new church started (everything from choosing a church name to forming a core team)
  • Assign dates to actions via online control panel resulting in online schedule
  • Assign actions to different people allowing other staff members or key volunteers to understand their role in the launch plan.

MANAGE

  • Each action includes a detailed written description including the purpose of the action, a description, and specific action steps. Best practices from other church plants are integrated into the descriptions
  • Many actions have supplemental addendums/templates to guide the planter through completion of an action
  • Fully customizable actions (actions added, modified and deleted with ease)
  • Milestone Management to help a planter see the logical grouping of actions. All actions are grouped into milestones. Milestones are listed roughly in time sequence to help pace the church planter throughout the pre-natal phase
  • Real time status of actions via an online web page. You will always know exactly what is complete, what is incomplete, what is overdue, and what is coming due. Action status can be updated in seconds via the built-in online control panel
  • Standard report views, including completed actions, incomplete actions, milestones, overdue actions, actions due in next week, etc. All reports display instantly with one click. Print reports for others to see.
  • Custom report views (in seconds)
  • Summary reports (overall snapshot of the new project - great for management team or sponsor reporting). Red, yellow, green status helps planter instantly see potential trouble areas.
  • Graphs (weekly and cumulative actions). See a snapshot of action completion graphically through several standard graph views.
  • Use the system as a prioritized to-do list. Lists, reports and graphs show completed actions, incomplete actions, overdue actions, and actions coming due. In addition to serving as a to-do list, each actions is defined for the planter helping them know what needs to be done.
