Vision of The TX/LA District Church Planting Network

The TX/LA District of The Wesleyan Church exists to increase the number of healthy, reproducing churches in Texas and Louisiana. Our current vision is to be a missional movement of 25 growing, reproducing churches by 2012.

We believe healthy organisms reproduce and that God created churches to not just grow but produce healthy, growing offspring!

If you want to be a part of this missional movement, here’s what you do!

Be Assessed

1. Be assessed by the TX/LA Church Planter Assessment Center. Go to churchplanters.org/CPAC and register for the next offering by the TX/LA District.
2. When you have received a green light from the assessment center, we will seek approval from the District Board of Administration.

Get Trained

1. Attend Training at Northwood Church with Pastor Bob Roberts. This training is composed of two modules of two days each. The training is not model specific and you will be equipped to plant an urban, suburban or country church. You will leave trained to develop budgets and core groups and look at your potential plant location missionally. Out of this training will come your philosophy and budget preparation.
2. You will be asked to attend a two-day fundraising seminar put on by thebodybuilders.net.

Receive Approval

1. You will present your final plan and budget to the District Board and appropriate levels of funding will be approved.
2. A coach will be chosen to walk through the next year with the planter.
3. Appropriate administrative support will be given to secure bank accounts, EIN #’s and other details of the plant.
4. The planter will be a part of a local network of church planters.

Thanks for considering being part of the movement!
