Church Planting Process
From one prayer to many churches
The six steps we follow, with local believers taking the lead as early as they can.
- 1
Pray and prepare
We pray for the community, seek God’s leading, and build friendships with local believers and partners.
- 2
Share the Gospel
We share the good news of Jesus through relationships, practical service and the preaching of God’s Word.
- 3
Make disciples
New believers meet in small groups to study the Bible together and learn to obey Jesus.
- 4
Gather a fellowship
A house fellowship forms: worshipping, praying, baptizing new believers and sharing the Lord’s Supper.
- 5
Train leaders
Leaders are raised up from within the fellowship and trained to teach, shepherd and serve.
- 6
Plant again
The church is organized, led by its own people, and sends out workers to plant the next church.
Marks of a healthy church
- Led by its own people
- Supported by its own members
- Reaching its community and beyond
Help plant the next church
Pray, give or go: every church planted begins with people like you.
