Church Planting

The Evangelical Covenant Church fosters the planting of new churches by providing church planters with assessment, training, and coaching. Church planting endures as one of the most effective strategies to reach young people, engage a growing multiethnic population, and develop vibrant local churches that make disciples. We launch churches with the right people, in the right context, with the right support.

  • We begin with conversations with our directors of church planting.

  • Candidates and their spouses engage in a guided discernment process that carefully explores call, timing, spiritual gifts, emotional health, and the strategic viability of the proposed church project.

  • The agreement describes the plan for the first year of the church plant.
