EXPLORE CHURCH PLANTING

Discover the history and ideas behind church multiplication

Explore Church Planting with this five-session course designed for church small groups, examining key ideas behind church multiplication and planting, brought to life with historical case studies and contemporary stories.

Hosted by experienced church planters and practitioners, Explore Church Planting unpacks God’s call to multiply and plant new churches, an overview of what this could involve, and an invitation to think and pray about what God might be calling you to start something new.

Explore Church Planting is for church leaders and their congregation members who are looking to learn more about the history and context of starting a new church, and the forms this can take. You don’t need to have a fully-formed plan for planting a church, but a desire to pray, listen and explore this call.
