To start a new life giving church we need:

1. The right church PLANTER who has been assessed and trained to start a church.
2. In the right PLACE where there is a cultural fit with the community.
3. With the right PEOPLE who can form a launch team to start a new church.
4. Who has developed the right action PLAN that sets a course for the first two years.
5. With the right financial PACKAGE which opens multiple streams of income.

Are you interested in becoming a church planter?

1. Set up a roundtable appointment with the New Start Coordinator. This is an informal time to discus what it takes to plant a church and an opportunity for you to ask questions.
2. Do an informal assessment with the New Start Coordinator. This is a one hour interview that covers the thirteen qualification of a church planter.
3. Be formally assessed. This is for the prospective church planter and spouse who are assessed by Nazarene New Start or another church planting agency.
