Regional & Global

We offer multiple levels of training for potential planters, as well as host church planting events in major cities around the world.

Our mission as the Church Planting Initiative is to connect, train, and mobilize God's people to plant and ReMission reproducing churches in every context.

Who
we are

The Church Planting Initiative is born out of a heart to serve and equip church leaders in an increasingly multicultural, secular, and global context. Our vision is to equip church leaders for planting new churches and ReMissioning existing congregations so they can become reproducing, disciple-making movements. We offer a variety of training, assessments, and resources to equip church leaders to fulfill the Great Commission as they live out the Missio Dei in their local context of ministry.

We serve as a relational network for church planters through an interactive website, an annual gathering, and through regional hubs located in strategic geographic locations.

We provide training to equip church planters in practical ways through our degrees, institutes, resources, and learning communities.

We mobilize planters through our regional hubs, assessment tools, coaching resources, and fellowship program each year.
