Key Church Planting Systems

RECRUITING
Our church planters and church planting core teams are primarily recruited from the following:

  • PCJC CMC/LMC
  • FMC Colleges Universities
  • FMC Conferences
  • CP Conferences
  • Existing ASIAN focused networks
 

ASSESSMENT
All potential FMC church planters undergo an assessment. This assessment identifies and evaluates the following aspects of the potential planter's life and ministry:

  • Spiritual strengths
  • Spiritual gifts
  • Spiritual needs
  • Spiritual health
  • Organizational developmental strengths/weaknesses
  • Relational compatibility and health
  • Psychological/behavioral health
  • Doctrinal alignment
  • Team leadership
 

COACHING

The goal of coaching is to get you from where you are, to where you envision God wants you to be. This is a vital aspect for any church planter on the journey of launching a new work, and a great way to move a district forward as a whole into a new dimension of putting feet to the vision of its ministers and leaders.
