Acts 29 has 25 years of proven experience planting churches worldwide. We offer training, guidance, and tools for planting churches all in a relational network designed to keep you and your church healthy and sustainable. We offer opportunities for potential church planters to receive help prior to planting. We also prioritize continual training for our pastors and church planters.
TRAINING
APPRENTICESHIP
Helping Discern a Call to Church Planting
Church planting is a direct answer to the call of Jesus’s Great Commission. Church planting comes with more joy than you can imagine, but also more difficulty than you can plan for. Some days, all you have to fall back on is God’s clear call on your life. The Acts 29 Apprenticeship is a course that is designed to help you discern that important call to church planting, helping you answer the important question: How can I know if God is calling me to plant a church? The Acts 29 Apprenticeship is designed to be completed in 3-6 months and done in partnership with your Pastor or key leader in your church context.
RESIDENCY
Training Church Planters to Lead Healthy, Multiplying Churches
Church planters need more than passion—they need preparation. Acts 29 offers a Residency program designed to equip church planters with the tools and training needed for effective church planting. Built around 11 core competencies, the Acts 29 Residency ensures planters are thoroughly prepared for the challenges of planting a healthy, multiplying church. The Acts 29 Residency is flexible and can be completed over 12, 18, or 24 months, allowing a Resident to work at a pace that best suits their context and needs.
EQUIP: ACTS 29 ONLINE TRAINING
A Hub for Church Leadership Training
Acts 29 Equip is the central online platform for all training resources available to churches and planters within Acts 29. This platform is the online home for the Acts 29 Apprenticeship and Residency, along with other additional courses designed to support church leaders. While the platform primarily focuses on equipping church planters, it also offers valuable content for training key leaders, developing elders, and refreshing essential skills for pastors at any stage of ministry.
