Church Planter Development

We are dedicated to equipping church planters with the best training, resources, support, and—most of all—tools for holistic well-being so every church plant in our city will be a healthy, gospel-centered church.

Our church planting residencies equip church planters to navigate the ups and downs of the early years of launching a new church plant, providing tools and accountability to support long-term emotional and spiritual well-being.

We offer two different church planting residencies for prospective church planters. Our aim is to prepare leaders to plant healthy, missional churches. These residencies will be experiential learning environments designed to produce holistically-prepared leaders who are part of a city-wide movement of God’s Kingdom throughout Orlando.
