Workshop Session 3: Proven Practices for Developing a Launch Team from Scratch
If God's calling you to plant a church it's likely that He's calling others to join you. You can't do it alone, and unless you're being sent by a church that's gifting you a large group of people, you'll need to figure out how to build a launch team from scratch. Most church planters find this task much harder than anticipated. It's difficult work, so don't wing it. Attend Proven Practices for Developing a Launch Team from Scratch to learn practical and proven best practices on how to recruit launch team members and forge them into a united team that pursues your new church's vision together.
Time: Wednesday, 2:30 – 3:30pm
