The best part was the practicality of the training.  Especially the four phases of planting a church. I already had the passion but not the "know how."

 -Thomas Loman


"DCPI's program is the most cross-cultural and comprehensive approach I've found."

-Chris McKinney


"Church Planning Essentials is a powerful and practical tool for principle-centered church planting-refreshing and dynamic!"

-Mike Ruhl

DCPI has two convictions about the Church Planting Essentials training.  The first conviction is the 12 Biblical Principals Of Church Planting is 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.  The second conviction is 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 Vision-Plan-TimeLine (VPT).  It 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. 

Interactive, comprehensive instruction designed to enable prospective planters to avoid church planting "land mines", plan prayerfully and pursue their vision effectively.


Sessions equip you to:
  • 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 land mines such as launching too soon, choosing the wrong facility, or exhausting your launch team.
