PROGRAM
Church Planters Cohort
Get Inspired
Are you an emerging leader looking to launch a church plant?
Or perhaps a church looking for a strategic pathway to plant churches?
Our 2-year pathway program is designed to provide you with a supportive and structured journey towards success. We understand that church planting is a 5-year commitment driven by love for a specific group of people who need the Gospel. That's why we focus on strengthening you, your vision, and your strategies to reduce pressure and increase success. Our goal is to invest in your well-being and personal development so that you can build a powerful team and grow new disciples.
The Journey
Throughout the two years of our program, we will equip you to 'think' movements as Jesus did, 'live' authentically as a disciple-maker, and 'be' Kingdom minded in all that you do. Our core trainings, SHIFTm2M and MyFriends, will guide you through a thorough and fascinating study of the gospels. You'll unpack Jesus' disciple-making movement principles and learn to strategically apply them to your church plant disciple-making pathway. In the second year, you'll be trained and coached in how to train others in developing a lifestyle that creates opportunities for your family, friends, neighbours, and broader community to discover God's story.
With ongoing coaching and four focus days each year dedicated to specific church planting sessions, we aim to ensure that you launch a disciple-making church plant successfully. Our prayer is that you will develop a disciple-making lifestyle and launch movements of disciple-making through your church plant. We welcome you to apply or partner with us in launching disciple-making church plants across Australia.

Collaborative Learning Cohort
Throughout the trimester, we meet fortnightly (on Zoom) and explore what we are learning and wrestling with through our studies that we are partaking in. With a focus on application throughout these meetings, we look to make the connections from our head, to our heart and hands as leaders.
Training
The training dates will be available in the welcome pack for each year, with all first year participants in any program, participating in SHIFTm2M and second year participants, in MyFriends Training. With various gathering places around Australia, 9 training days (SHIFTm2M) and 4 training days (MyFriends) throughout the year, and coaching to help with the application process; it is always an amazing journey.
