Beginings Classical Way

In this course Dr. Beck works through the classical or traditional way most denominations in the western hemisphere plant churches, but adds some key insights and practices he has learned from his years of association with leading church planters and such church planting networks like City To City, City Mentoring Program, and now mosaiXmultiply.

Dr. Beck takes the student through the phases of church planting and the various aspects of each of the phases to build an easy-to-follow, practical, step-by-step approach. Many church planting training programs give aspiring church planters helpful principles to go by. Dr. Beck uses a so-called ""church planting globe"" to not only give you a clear overview of all the steps to be taken, but very detailed instructions and advice for each step, all the way to reaching the first of two goals of church planting: installing your first elders (the second goal is multiplying your church plant into another church plant, but that is CP7). In doing so, he is careful to take into account that every church plant has its own unique context and that no one way of doing things fits everywhere. The church planting student will want to take all the principles, steps and detailed advice in this course and apply them to his own context. (Note: how to contextualize is the major focus of CP4).

You will be equipped with the proper tools needed to continue your journey on planting a classical church that has a multilocational mindset.
