PURPOSE

PLAN 
Potential church planters will complete an application in order to discern their commitment to church planting as well as the assessment from the New Church Minister of the CCDOC in order to determine their aptitude for church planting.
 
Once selected, church planters must sign the memorandum of understanding found in the New church strategic plan and commit to the process of training and development of themselves as a church planter with the intent to plant a church within 6 months to one year in order to receive up to 5 years of support.  Each church should be self sustaining at year 5.
