Genesis Church Planters Training 2017 Recap

This year our equippers were able to spend a week with 16 current or future church planters. It was a beautiful week at Holy Trinity Retreat Center in Pikesville, MD, just outside of Baltimore.

 

 

We engaged in rhythms of prayer together, talked about church planting, leadership development, developing a culture of discipleship and a lot more.

This was the first year of doing this training that we had more female than male planters attending! We count that as an exciting development.

 

 

Here’s what some of the participants had to say about the week:

“It was incredibly helpful and encouraging week. There was a great balance between strategic discussion and tending to our hearts. The opportunity to connect with church planters from around the country was exciting and edifying.”

“This week was incredible! The principles of missional church planting taught was a great blend of head, heart, and hands. This was an ideal space to discern, discuss, and work on my church planting plan. The community feel of the week was encouraging and supportive. Lots of prayer, laughter, and learning took place. I’m sad for it to end!”
“This week has been very helpful! I can see where much of this information can help in my current ministry role and especially as we get deeper into the plant process. It was a good mix of theology and implementation.”
Please be praying for these planters as they move ahead in putting what they’ve learned into practice and start some new missional, kingdom communities!
