Starting New Churches: A Process of Discernment (Version 3.0)
Starting New Churches: A Process of Discernment is a linear series of 17 gatherings with assignments and steps a team could complete that take you from zero to a new church.
Starting New Initiatives: A Discernment Process
Starting New Initiatives: A Discernment Process is designed to be both a discernment process and a practical guide for engaging the community. It helps a Session and congregation integrate the work the church needs to do with the spirtual leadership Elders are called to exhibit. It will also lead a congregation to go beyond its walls and engage the community in a new way.
