Stepping Stone #3 - Training

Training

Having the knowledge and being able to make a missional difference are two different things. That’s why getting equipped for the missional task is essential. Doing mission in the Canadian context also requires a kind of collaboration that is easily missed. Take these training opportunities to develop your skills, practice and knowledge:

  • Church Planting Today Course – develop cultural, social and spiritual awareness through these evening classes especially designed to encourage missional imagination
  • Evangelism Master Class – monthly meetings that will help you develop the skills and abilities of an evangelist
  • Evangelism Weekend – attend these optional weekends where we help churches develop a missional outlook

Stepping Stone #4 - Support

Support

We know that Church Planting and Missional Leadership can be a lonely yet exciting journey. In a context where most church plants fail within three years, coaching may be the essential ingredient for your longevity There are challenges and opportunities that we dare not face alone. Through coaching, we’ll walk with you every step of the way for your first year.
