C2C works with sending churches and denominational leaders to discern and equip planters with the following practices. Note that one of your first steps should be to contact your denomination.
Step 2 of 3: How C2C Helps
While it is true that we seek to be led by the Spirit of God, we also believe that God gives us wisdom in creating best practices that help enable effective church planting. We have developed best practices that cluster within the acrostic ACTS.
Assessment
C2C helps planters and their denomination to discern their calling and vision to plant a church. After multiple interviews, we invite potential planters to an assessment centre. We measure the candidate’s readiness to plant.
Coaching
Every church planter has access to a gospel coach to meet monthly to shepherd and equip in personal, spiritual, relational, and missional aspects of their lives.
Training
C2C strives to provide the best training opportunities for preparation to plant and ongoing training throughout the crucial first few years of planting.
Support
C2C seeks to ensure that every new church has adequate financial systems and sustainability. We also work with your denomination and sending church to provide a temporary external leadership team to give oversight, accountability, and counsel before establishing an internal governance.
