Kickstart Your Church Planting Journey

By Clint Clifton

The Church Planting Masterclass can help you accelerate your growth as a church planter with 80 presentations focused on church planting basics. You'll get relevant training on both theological and practical topics, like exegeting your community, building a team, making disciples, extraordinary communication and preserving family life.

There’s a lot to know before starting a church – and finding reliable information can be daunting. The Church Planting Masterclass is valuable, accessible training from expert practitioners, to help kickstart your church planting journey with clarity and confidence.

The Church Planting Masterclass brings together pastors, planters and leading contributors from across Send Network to train you in all things church planting – biblical rationale, team building, family calling, community impact and more.

In The Church Planting Masterclass you will have access to:

  • 80 presentations focused on church planting basics
  • Theological and practical topics like church growth, leadership development, budget, learning your community, the theology of church planting and more
  • Bite-size, digestible videos that fit into your busy schedule

For example:

  • Using the parable of the banquet in Luke 14, Matt Chandler takes a look at how Jesus prioritized reaching across differences for the sake of the gospel. He discusses how you can think about reaching those that may not fit in your “target audience.”
  • Trillia Newbell walks through the what, why and how of diversity in the kingdom of God. She ends her session with a few application points for you to reflect and act on.
  • Ed Stetzer gives practical advice for how the church planter can create a rhythm for evangelism in his life, using Scripture and anecdotes from his own life and ministry.
  • Reflecting on his seminary experience, Dhati Lewis discusses the importance your life plays in your calling. He discusses how reflecting on your own story (family history, culture, life experiences, etc.) can lead to a unique vision for your ministry.
  • J.D. Greear discusses why sending capacity matters more than seating capacity. While addressing the fears associated with this, he explains how he has seen this affect his own church.

The Church Planting Masterclass can help you accelerate your growth with relevant training on exegeting your community, building a team, making disciples, extraordinary communication and preserving family life.
