Church Planters' Roundtable (15-16 Jan. and 22-23 Jan. 2010)
A Church Planters' Roundtable (CPR) is for those interested in becoming church planters and their spouses. In January, Europe Advance will be holding two CPRs. Rob Ketterling of River Valley Church in Apple Valley, Minnesota, will be the main trainer. Rob Ketterling is also on the lead team of the Association of Related Churches, a fast growing church planting network in the US. If you are a church planter, we advise you to have your sponsoring church's pastor attend
with you so that he/she can be fully informed about your vision and Europe
Advance's process.
These are the dates for the CPRs in January 2010:
On January 15 and 16 in Hilversum (near Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
Schedule The meeting begins with
dinner on Friday evening, from 6 to 9 PM, and continues from 9 AM to 4
PM on Saturday (breakfast and lunch included). Rob Ketterling and members of the leadership team of Europe Advance will train all those who attend on
church planting and they will also have discussion times.
Topics The "CPR" will cover topics that potential church planters will be interested in, such as:
Where should I go?
How do I meet people?
What is the best mail out source...what should it say?
Where is the best venue to get started in?
How do I finance it...how much do I need?
Where do I get the information that I need...where can I get the wisdom to do what I need to do?
How do I get small groups started?
Leadership lessons for church planters (building teams, communication, etc.)
Natural Church Development will be presented as a way to measure the "life-giving" principles we all embrace
and many other subjects...
Registration
The
cost for both days is 100 Euro per person or 150 Swiss Francs (the wives of potential
church planters attend free of charge) which includes all materials and
the meals mentioned above, but not the expenses for lodging. You can pay the registration fee at the door. If you live in the Netherlands, you can also do a wire transfer until January 13 to account 44.33.990 of Europe Advance in Urk.
