An Ed Stetzer study on church plant attendance (click here) shows a direct correlation between the training received by a church planter and attendance. There are many training options (often called Church Planter Boot Camps), each with their own strengths. Some are more theologically based, some very practical, some very inspiring, each one good but different.
Our director, Todd Wilson and myself have participated in Church Coaching Solutions (CCS), Nexus, Global Church Advancement , Church Multiplication Training Center and Acts 29 boot camps. They are all excellent and we can recommend all of them.
In addition to gaining practical church planting knowledge, planters often experience significant “ah ha” moments. They often connect the dots between what they have always thought church should be to reach the lost and the practicalities day to day ministry.
One thing I liked about the CCS and Nexus boot camps is how they integrate our Converge project management software right into the training. The goal is to prepare the church planter for action. Through the week planters have the opportunity to actually develop the core of their launch plan.
