Church Planting Practicum...

      

 MY favorite event we sponsor at Mountain Lake each year through churchplanters.com is not our conference, believe it or not. The weakness of church conferences is that they allow you to get all "messed up for Jesus" but don't allow any margin to process and apply what you've heard while you're there.
        That's why my favorite church planting event is our PRACTICUMS, where we require church planting teams to come, sit around a table with each other,  and learn and work together on their processes, systems, and ministries in their churches. We spend some brief time discussing and highlighting each of our best Practices, and then we facilitate lively discussions, brainstorming, and planning among the church planting teams. The reason I love the practicum more than anything else is because it allows the church planting team to APPLY EVERYTHING while they're still on site! I also love to be able to provide more personal time with each church planting team. I love walking around to the various teams and "livening" up the discussion, answering questions, as well as asking them. Our next practicum is being held July 28-29, and space is limited to 10 church planting teams. Get your  team here!
