Church Planters and Lead Elders: Planting, transitioning, leading a local church 2025
Mon Mar 24, 08:30 - Sat Mar 29, 12:00
Cornerstone Church Bedfordview and One Life Church Worlds View
ABOUT
Planting or transitioning a local church is an amazing and absolute privilege. Growing a church into a base church is an awesome responsibility. But how do we do it God's way? How do we keep our own sanity and health in check? How do we raise and choose a team - and create a fruitful base church that goes to, and serves, the nations.
Whether you are a fresh, new plant and this is a first time thing for you; or you're a veteran looking to hand over the church you're leading to the next generation, Lead Elders: Planting, Transitioning and Leading a Local Church is a comprehensive course that will lead you in the right direction.
