Church Planting
Weekender
TREASURING CHRIST TOGETHER
Join aspiring church planters and learn from experienced ones in the context of a church plant. The Church Planting Weekender offers a hands-on experience, allowing you to see, touch, and understand what it means to plant churches where the mission of pastoral ministry and the joy of knowing Christ as a family truly matter. Come, see, and savor the glory of Christ as we explore the establishment of His blood-bought people.
Our prayer is that this time will stir your heart, shape your mind, and equip you with practical resources for ministry.

TCT is a network of churches joyfully serving pastors and their wives, and supporting churches to start new Christ-treasuring churches.
9Marks helps pastors, future pastors, and church members see what a biblical church looks like, and provides practical resources for becoming one. The goal is to see churches characterized by nine biblical marks of a healthy church.

Every church planter benefits from good books. So, leave a little extra room in your luggage to take home a stack of free books. These will include titles such as:
Minister as Shepherd by Charles Jefferson
The Glory of Christ by John Owen
Conversion by Michael Lawrence
Seeing & Savoring Christ by John Piper
Each attendee also receives a jump drive with a decade’s worth of on-the-ground church planting resources. Editable versions of resources like budgets, connection cards, position papers, and more are yours to use as you like!
