First Steps

You are here because someone has seen potential in your life. The church you have been called to plant will not be healthy beyond its leadership. The church plant will flow out of your character. This course is really about you being prepared as a God-called and Holy Spirit-filled leader. The church plant will not grow beyond you! The enemy will seek to take you out. The work is hard on you personally, and on your entire family. This is certainly not about being perfect, but you must be a man who's character is solid enough to handle both the successes and challenges that are surely to come. The first steps you must take include prayer, getting to know your community, understanding God's vision, defining the church's core values, designing the ministry flow and systems of your new church, as well as designing your church model, and then finally, taking the legal and denominational steps to get your church off and running.
