Is This Pathway for You?

Church Planting and Revitalization may be a good fit if:

  • You sense a burden to help establish a healthy church or guide a struggling church toward gospel renewal.
  • You want conviction and character to shape your leadership more deeply than techniques or quick results.
  • You are willing to examine your calling, family health, endurance, judgment, and readiness for pressure.
  • You want to prepare for long-term ministry under the wisdom and accountability of church leaders.

How You Will Be Equipped

Through this pathway, you will grow in your ability to:

  • Discern calling, context, ministry model, cost, and wise next steps for planting or revitalization.
  • Strengthen biblical convictions about the church, preaching, disciple-making, governance, and mission.
  • Develop a thoughtful planting plan or a patient, trust-building approach to church renewal.
  • Lead through conflict, criticism, pressure, discouragement, and change with humility, courage, and endurance.
