Want to Find Your Calling in Church Planting?

Start with our assessments for discerning to see if you have gifts and graces in common with many church planters. If you want us to share the results of your assessments with your annual conference, please indicate that permission when you take the quizzes. We encourage you to contact the person responsible for congregational development within your annual conference, and also your district superintendent, to let them know of your interest.

These assessments are one step in a process that may lead you to find your calling to be a church planter, to serve a new congregation as a team member, or to support church planting in your area in other ways.
