Planting churches is implicit in the great commission and is an important way the kingdom of God expands on the earth. This clinic is designed not only for senior leaders of a church plant, but for anyone on the team looking to plant a church. The team needs pastors, youth workers, worship leaders, and administrative leaders. Even network and denominational leaders will find these three days inspiring and helpful in the work of multiplying churches.
