Church Planting Training Handbook | 20 Lessons and Printable Workbook

A new church needs more than a launch date. It needs biblical conviction, a healthy team, genuine relationships in its community, and the capacity to care for people after the first gathering.

This twenty-lesson training path helps a planting team move from vision to shared practice. It begins with God's mission and the role of the sending church, then addresses team formation, culture, conflict, sustainable commitments, listening to the neighborhood, planning, stewardship, public launch, discipleship, long-term health, and developing leaders who can serve others.

Each lesson includes biblical references, substantial teaching, pastoral application, situations to discuss, and practical exercises. Use the handbook for individual preparation or work through it with a team. The separate workbook brings together the exercises in a format that is easy to print and write in.

Inside the training:

• Module 1 — Foundations: why we plant.

• Module 2 — People: who we build with.

• Module 3 — Preparation: before the public launch.

• Module 4 — Launch and growth: health and multiplication.

What the buyer receives:

• Church Planting Handbook (PDF, A4, 106 pages).

• Church Planting Student Workbook (PDF, A4, 26 pages).

The handbook contains the exercises at the end of every lesson; the separate workbook makes them easier to print for a team. Both files are in English. Biblical references follow the World English Bible as the reference translation. This is a digital reading and discussion resource; it does not include video lessons or live instruction.

Suggested audience: church planters, pastoral teams, sending churches, and people preparing to join a launch team.
