Thanks for your interest! Your current position in the Covenant means you are already an important part of church planting, since it is a ministry we can only do because of the support of people and churches like you. Here are ways to begin exploring whether that interest in church planting is a nudge from the Holy Spirit or just from too much coffee!

1. Do a simple self-assessment. Does it feel basically “in the ball park”?
2. Read in the field.
3. Visit on-site with a new church.
4. Have coffee with a Covenant church planter.

If everything still points to serious exploration, set up an appointment with your conference director of church planting (PDF). They’ll visit with you in more depth.

If it makes sense both to you and that conference director, then being invited to an assessment center would be next.

If you are recommended for church planting by the assessment center, you then become eligible to be called to a church planting project.
