The best way to see a community transformed is by planting a church that loves its people. In this session, we will discuss the practical partnership that aims to equip and empower pastors so that plants have the strongest foundation for lifelong growth. The commitment is to plant life-giving and gospel-breathing churches that spread the love of Christ into its community.

This workshop will talk about why micro churches are particularly effective in the Australian context and give you a framework to plant micro churches in ways that produce fruit that will last. This framework has been developed from healthy Australian micro churches who multiply. The workshop will speak to micro churches as a model of church planting in its own right, and in partnership with existing churches that are seeking to further their reach into their local community.

Questions to ponder – What if were possible to make a prediction for the success of a church plant with a high degree of certainty? What if we could accurately ascertain whether a church planter is “ready” and what future development is required? What is the cost of not being able to do this?

In this workshop we will discuss the essential characteristics of successful church planters, and how we can identify them. Knowing what to look for is the first step. This is not an area for guess work, so let’s take that out!
