Hi, We're DCPI.
That's Dynamic Church Planting International.
We've been around since 1992, training leaders to start churches that are so adaptable and Gospel-motivated that they are ever-innovating to reach their communities for Christ. We are aiming to train leaders from every country of the world, and we've trained in all but 20 countries so far. We offer 8 tracks of training built upon biblical principles and actionable applications, so DCPI churches are effective and healthy.
Oh, and we're a non-profit with the goal of making this training as available as possible. Most of the cost of our training is already covered by generous donors, so you can get trained without hesitation of where the funds will come from.
Our vision is to equip leaders to plant five million churches to reach the world for Christ. As of today, we have trained over 1.5 million leaders, and we believe they have planted a cumulative of over 1 million churches.
Our heart is to help you do that crazy big thing God is calling you to do. Your vision is not too big for God, and we'd love to help you get there. Whether you are an individual, a network, or a denomination, we have training that's scaleable to get everyone running toward your God-given vision!
