“Training for church planting begins with training in disciple making. The Church Planter Institute starts with scripture and unpacks disciple making and church planting for you with instructors that are practitioners. If you’re preparing to plant or preparing to send out a planter, this is a great resource to help you plant a healthy, multiplying church.”

Patrick Bradley, Director of Operations, Passion for Planting


"We're excited about a collaboration that has the potential to equip and train more church planters with a proper missiological and theological foundation for starting healthy churches. The Passion for Planting and Ephesiology teams are highly motivated to see you effectively engage your community with the gospel."

Michael T. Cooper, Program Director and author of Ephesiology: The Study of the Ephesian Movement
