Course Description
Utilizing Multiplication Network Ministries training curriculum, the Planting Healthy Churches course equips church planting practitioners and future church planters to train local leaders who already understand their culture, language and social networks, enabling them to share the Gospel more effectively than someone from another country and culture. This "training-the-trainers" approach allows many more people to multiply the gospel message strategically. The course will focus on two primary tools including church planting methodology in which leaders are challenged to plant new churches through practical skills, biblical training, mentoring and follow-up. The course also includes evaluative tools to help assess a church's health and vitality, leading to strategic planning to enter a preferred future.
