The Great Adventure! Planting a new church or starting a new ministry is always a faith journey. It can be scary. It can be overwhelming. It can be exciting. It can be rewarding. It can be liberating. It can be a whole lot of fun. Are you ready for the ride of your life?

2010 BOOT CAMPS

Church Planting BootCamp is an intense 4 day workshop that prepares people to plant new churches or revitalize existing churches. The goal is to produce strong, healthy, reproducing churches. You will receive practical skills training under the guidance of a team of facilitators and coaches.

June 14 – 18 – New Jersey District

November 15 – 19 – Penn-Del District

For more details, locations & online registraton

At BootCamp, church planters and revitalizers answer six questions:

• What Does God Want to Do? (What is His vision for the community?)
• Who Am I? (How will my gifts, skills, values and leadership style affect this ministry?)
• What Am I Sent to Do? (What is my specific assignment in this community?)
• Who Will Do It With Me? (How do I gather and recruit people to fulfill God’s vision?)
• How Will We Do It? (What steps will we take to start a healthy church?)
• How Will We Evaluate Our Progress? (Are we accomplishing what God wants us to do?)
