Experiential Training with Team Planting

Church Planters need two forms of training: KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE.

KNOWLEDGE: As a church planter, you will be taught the foundational principles of what it takes to start a church from scratch. The Bible will provide the basis for your learning. We teach principles, not models. At the end, you will have all the tools needed to start a healthy church that reproduces itself for God's glory.

Here are some of the practical principles you will learn: Vision, Purpose, Values, Personal Evangelism, Discipleship Process, Timeline Preparation, Fundraising, Launch Team Training, Public Worship Services, Small Groups, Children's Ministry, Starting Daughter Churches, etc.

EXPERIENCE: Team Planting has a network of church plants that you will be able to visit so you can learn first-hand from church planters who are in the trenches. You will gain valuable experience as you participate in new churches that are in different stages of church planting. (You will see StoneWater Church that is 5 years old, Lifestone Church that is 1 year old, StoneLake Church that is currently preparing for their first public worship service, and StoneWater Church of Glen Rose that is a brand new satellite campus.)

Here are some of the practical experiences you will learn on-sight: Setting up a portable church, Working with Volunteers, Operating a Children's Ministry, Forming a Worship Team, Sermon Preparation in a Church Plant, Excellence in the Worship Service, Follow-up Process with first-timers, etc.
