Overview

Description

The Church Planting Certificate is a comprehensive training certificate that equips you to plant a disciple-making, church-planting church that fits your context and leads to new disciples of Jesus Christ and transformed communities. The certificate is comprised of six interactive courses, culminating in a final project where you will be tasked to write or revise your church planting plan for an opportunity to earn a professional certificate. Created by church planters and Fuller faculty, the certificate is both theologically grounded yet highly missional and practical, including many real-life stories. The courses focus on three “roots” to help your church plant flourish: 

 

  1. a biblical theology that helps planters recognize that church planting isn’t just up to them to do it all but that they are joining God’s ongoing mission in the world, 
  2. the spiritual formation of the planter and their team to deepen their spiritual and emotional health amidst the overwhelming demands of church planting, and
  3. missional skills to proclaim and embody the gospel in ways that reach a secularizing culture and resonate with the people groups of their city, leading to a diverse, contextualized church.


Created in partnership with the Church Planting Initiative and FULLER Equip.
