Church Planting Orientation

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Ashland Theological Seminary

This seminar introduces the planter to the basic understanding and skills necessary to start a congregation in any North American cultural context. It takes the student from call through self-assessment to reaching and bringing together a group of 25-75 individuals committed to being a church. Based on Stetzer’s and Bird’s concepts of church multiplication, it seeks to train church-planters to form new congregations aggressively and rapidly with an informed awareness of the increasing diversity of successful models of church initiation presently working in North America at the end of the first decade of the 21st century.
