TRAINING

MULTIPLYNAZ COLLEGE OF MINISTRY

The fifth step in the Pathway to Planting involves Training.  If you are not an ordained minister and are seeking ministerial training toward ordination along with church plant training, we encourage you to explore enrollment in the MULTIPLYNAZ College of Ministry. There the Nazarene Course of Study is divided into three training tracks. The College offers a Lay Pastor Certificate, a Certificate in Christian Ministry and a Diploma in Church Planting. The College of Ministry website will walk you through the entire journey toward ordination, all with a church planting focus. You can register and go through a self-guided, on-line orientation today.

USA/Canada Department Training

Under the inspiring leadership of Rev. Mark Bane, Director of Evangelism and New Church Development, the USA/Canada Region offers the following eight training opportunities and resources:

EMT Training: Evangelism and Multiplication Training – inspires and trains church leaders and laity to engage in micro and macro discipleship through one on one evangelism and church planting.

CPRChurch Planting Refresh – inspires and helps church leaders and laity to put their God-given church planting vision into action with action steps and accountability plans once they leave the training.

CPCChurches Planting Churches – guides an existing congregation in birthing a new church using the biblical parent church concept (Acts 13:1-3).

Assessment Centers: assessing leaders is critical for church planting success. We help potential leaders develop self-awareness, understand their current leadership capacity and discover the appropriate church planting model that will maximize their God-given gifts and abilities. 

CPEChurch Planting Essentials – introduces 12 biblical principles to equip church planters from initial planning to launching a new church.

NCDNew Church Dynamics – shows church leaders how to develop systems necessary for a healthy church body as the new church develops.  This training is also helpful for existing churches that do not have healthy, church development systems in place.

CPMChurch Planting Movements – teaches biblical principles to develop a dynamic church planting movement

MCPMentoring Church Planters – equips and encourages seasoned church leaders in how to better support and mentor beginning church planters.

We encourage everyone to participate in and use these training events to resource church planters. The training events are solid and through District DCPI events, hundreds of leaders have been motivated and trained in church planting principles across the church.  

We encourage you to call the Evangelism and New Church Development Office at 913-577-2862 for more information about church planter assessment and training resources.
