NEW Dynamic Church Planting Handbook
by Paul Becker, Jim Carpenter, and Mark Williams

Essentials in church planting - from concept through year 1 - have been captured in our new handbook! 

The new version replaces the original handbook written in 1992 by DCPI Founder Paul Becker, generally acknowledged as the first "how-to" guide of church planting.  This edition is a joint effort of Becker and other staff members, who together have planted and daughtered more than 20 churches and mentored countless others.

"We love church planters and their families," said Paul Becker.  "We want to help them succeed in their church planting vision and we also want them to enjoy a healthy and happy family life.  This book, along with our training events, offers crucial information to help make your church planting pathway as smooth as possible."

The 300-page handbook is divided into five sections. 

Section One, "Preparing for the Journey", explains why church planting is the most Biblical and also the most effective strategy to reach the world for Christ.  It teaches how to discover God's special design for a new church: its values, vision and the leader's ministry style.  It also helps planters identify and avoid planting pitfalls.  Finally, this section introduces readers to the 12 Biblical principles for planting churches worldwide which are used throughout all sections in the book.

• Balancing three essentials in the leader: character, competence and charisma
