First Steps Training
Held February 1st & 2nd in San Jose, CA

At our Recent First Steps Coaching and Training Event in San Jose we trained 9 church planting coaches and provided strategic church planting training to 28 planters who are already planting, about to plant, or considering becoming church planters.

Gary Rohrmayer, who is a leader in church planting both nationally and regionally, taught about those crucial first steps that any planter needs to take to develop a new congregation.

Here are some comments from participants about what they came away with.

“ A well thought through guide of how to begin really thinking and strategizing through church planting.”

“I was amazed at the level of detail the training covered . . . I am sure will be of great help for some one like me to have it as a reference guide to for my church planting work.”

“The understanding that church planting is a process that involves many people in addition to the church planter . . . I also felt that interacting with other current and future church planters, and sharing ideas and experiences, was helpful and enriching.”

“This is a great seminar that I would recommend every pastor take every few years.”

We plan to hold First Steps here on the West Coast once a year to make this training more accessible to our leaders.
