Best Practice in Church Planting Forum


When: Monday, April 19th, 1-5 pm and Tuesday, April 20th, 9-11 am

Leader: Ed Stetzer, author and missiologist

Description: This pre-conference intensive is intended to connect church planting leaders for a discussion of best practices and trends in church planting. Stetzer and several other presenters will share research and observations on best practices. Specific topics will be determined several months before the conference based on a survey of registered participants. The intent is to discuss topics of mutual interest to church planting leaders.

Topics Include:
• General trends in church planting
• Multi-site and church planting
• Collaborative networks
• Movements: What can we learn from overseas?
• Urban and ethnic planting
• The growing influence of megachurches in church planting
• Recruiting, assessing, and selecting church planters
• Training, equipping, and supporting church planters
• Accountability systems (e.g. coaching, supervision, management teams, etc)

Many denominations, church planting networks, and leading organizations are expected to participate in this cross-denominational event. A number of organizations are planning to bring their national leadership teams to participate. You will not want to miss this opportunity to network with and learn from other like-minded leaders.
