Plant Course London

The Plant Course is about the why, what and how of starting a new worshipping community. It is for those who are doing something in a new place, with new people in a new way. The course takes a plant team on a two month journey, meeting once a week. You are led and managed by facilitators with the sessions held at set times and locations. You work through the course as part of a consistent cohort and benefit from each other’s input.

By Grace Bally, Toria Gray and H Miller

Starting 26 September 2024
Seven Thursdays from 9:30am to 1:30pm

Aim

By the end of the course, each church planting team will have a clear and robust sense of:

  • What they are about (vision and values)
  • How they will deliver this on the ground (reaching new people)

At the course’s conclusion, the church planters present their planting vision, strategic plan, budget and growth plans to one another and a panel of experienced clergy and other experts. Collaborative feedback is given.
