Leading and facilitating the Plant Course

The Plant Course is about the why, what and how of starting a new worshipping community. It’s delivered through interactive and community learning, with excellent content from experts and live examples given by those who have done it before, to leaders and core team members who are about to launch a new worshiping community. This covers the vision and values of the Plant Course, and the facilitation style and key roles.
