Hey!
The multiplication of pumping new congregations and churches is the most biblical and effective form of advancing the gospel. This course is about equipping a new generation of elders, church leaders and church planters. As Benjamin Disraeli said, ‘Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and fervour’. It is time to do just that. Come on this course and become big, feel the call deeply and learn to act boldly.
PJ
What?
This is a part-time course consisting of 4 two-day blocks that are outlined below.

A church-planter’s assessment will be done on all students to help them gain a sober-assessment of their gifts and suitability for church planting. Please note that you must enrol for all four blocks.
