church planter training

Is God calling you to plant a church?

Church planting is the process of starting a new church, anywhere in the world, in response to God’s call. 

If God is calling you to plant a church, the first thing to do is to learn how to plant a church from people who have planted churches before you. At DCPI, all of our trainers have planted at least one church, and we are ready to equip you with our time-tested trainings to become confident, passionate, and ready, as you follow God on your church planting journey. Best news? We ask our donors to pay for you to attend, so our trainings don’t cost you!

"The best part was the practicality of the training. Especially the four phases of planting a church. I already had the passion but not the 'know-how.'"

START WITH THE ESSENTIALS

Where should you start? We offer eight trainings designed to equip church planters around the world to fulfill their callings. We recommend starting with our foundational training, Church Planting Essentials.

In Church Planting Essentials, you’ll learn and apply the 12 Biblical Principles of Church Planting, as you develop your own Vision, Plan, and Timeline (VPT) and outline how your church will take shape. In this interactive and comprehensive training you will learn to plan prayerfully, discern and pursue your vision effectively, and avoid planting “landmines.”
