Planting on Purpose
Four stages. One purpose.
INC’s proven pathway for prospective church planters — designed to take you from called to launched.
Four stages of development, assessment, and training — with coaching at every step. INC has been planting churches since 1974, with over 2,000 churches across the world. If you’re sensing a call to plant in Australia, this is the path forward.
01
Preliminary Development
Character, calling, and competency. What you bring before you apply. 1 Timothy 3 foundations and proven leadership in the local church.
02
Initial Training Event
One day with senior INC leaders. Trait analysis. A coach assigned to walk with you. A plan for your personal growth.
03
The Assessing Event
Two days with your spouse. A thorough assessment on 13 proven church planter competencies. A coaching plan tailored to where you are.
04
Advanced Training Event
Two days going deeper. Launch strategy, governance, financial resourcing — and the formal permission to launch an INC church.
