Every session in the training will support and apply one or more of the Biblical Principles.

DCPI has two convictions about the Church Planting Essentials training:

1st Conviction – The 12 Biblical Principles of Church Planting are essential for the development and birth of a healthy new church. Every session in the training will support and apply one or more of the Biblical principles.

2nd Conviction – Knowledge without wisdom is insufficient and learning without application is incomplete. Therefore, in order to receive the best out of the Church Planting Essentials training each participant is required to prepare a Vision-Plan-Timeline (VPT). The VPT is designed to help you begin applying what you are learning in the training and to move you further along in the vision and planting of new churches.

Church Planting Essentials’ interactive and comprehensive instruction is designed to enable prospective planters to avoid church planting ‘landmines’, plan prayerfully, as well as discern and pursue their vision effectively.

• • Organize, refine and pinpoint your vision, purpose, strategies and timeline early, so that you have a clear plan for the future.

  • Use the 12 Biblical principles for church planting in everything you do.

  • Recognize and avoid landmines such as launching too soon, choosing the wrong facility, or exhausting your launch team.
