Couples go into church planting together. They are called, assessed, and sent as a unit. However, somewhere along the way many church planting spouses become disillusioned and lost in the field. Research has shown that a church plant is more likely to succeed if both the planter and the spouse recieve coaching and training. The CMC is committed to creating an environment where church planting spouses can find support, encouragement, and coaching. For more information on how to get connected and resourced go HERE.

Church planting is a unique adventure filled with many unknowns. Below is a list of experts in key areas that are willing to provide you with wisdom and consultation for free.

Fund Raising | Scott Rhyno (Fund Developer of TWC) 

Raising money for a church plant is one of the most important parts of church planting. Raising funds takes vision and a clear way to communicate that vision. Unless you are independently wealthy, starting a church will take more money than you currently have at your disposal. The average church plant raises $100,000 in the first four years from outside support. Only 60% of those are self-sufficient by year four. To learn how to be a successful fund raiser go HERE. 

Is your church ready to multiply? A sending church is responsible for church plants until they are self-sustaining, self-governing, and self-propagating. Serving a church planter as a sending church is incredibly generous, sacrificial, and rewarding. Learn more about becoming a sending church HERE.

One multiplying church expression gaining traction is the multi-site strategy. Multi-siting should not fully replace church planting; however, studies demonstrate it is producing kingdom fruit. Many innovative churches are choosing to campus AND plant. According to Leadership Network, approximately 5 million people worship in a multi-site church on any given weekend. Learn more about becoming a multi-site church by ordering Leadership Network’s Multisite Resource Kit.

A church planting residency is an intensive 10-month immersion program designed to prepare a church planter to effectively launch a new life-giving church. Residents will be given hands on ministry opportunities along with prepatory coaching and training established by multiplying church pastors. For more information go HERE.

Need clarity on how to fulfill your ministerial education requirments for ordination in TWC? Because we want to mobilize hundreds of church planters, we have designed a special church planters track with several ministerial education pathways. Learn more about your ministerial education options HERE.

Do you have a desire to make a financial investment into TWC’s multiplication movement? We would love to speak with you personally and show you how you can support our North American church planting efforts. Email Dr. Ed Love and schedule an appointment.

The Church Builders Club is a community of financial investors who believe in supporting church plants. After a new church launches, the church planter is eligible to apply for a CBC grant. An informative newsletter is sent out to all CBC members and a call to action is enacted. Want to join the CBC? Find out more about the CBC HERE.
