Train Leaders

Each planter that is approved to proceed with training will study and focus on 10 competencies that a well prepared church planter will posses. These are covered in face-to-face training sessions lead by Hub Leaders and additional trainers certified in the Launch training process.

A trained ministry coach is assigned to each planter and they begin a life and ministry coaching process  that encourages the planter in their personal development. The planters Personal Growth Plan is a key document that is used during the time a planter works with his coach.

Utilizing input and feedback from his Parent Church, trainers and his Coach, each planter will work on learning new skills and changing his behaviors as called for in his Personal Growth Plan. Over a 2 year period his personal growth plan will be adjusted based on his progress and the needs that are discovered during training and coaching.

This is an important document prepared during training that states the specifics of the planter’s strategic and operations plans for starting his new church.

Each year 242 Network will offer a leadership conference for church planters and churches interested in working with church planters. Planters will attend the conference for additional learning and networking with other planters and established churches.
