Orientation
The third step involves Orientation. We are building an on-line, self-guided orientation for church planters located on Partner Districts that will “ramp them up” in their knowledge and understanding of new church development. This includes the church planting terms we use, because our movement is helped greatly when every planter “speaks the same language” (Genesis 11:6). Nothing is impossible when we share agenda harmony and use a common language!
Through our MultiplyNaz Partners, we provide orientation in 24 different church planting models and that number is growing! Below is a beginning list of these models for ministry to jump-start your dreaming for what Jesus may be calling you to do! If the Lord gives you a new one we can highlight, please let us know.
Compassionate Ministry Churches
Large Launch, Relaunch & Restart Churches
Micro / Missional Communities / Organic Churches
Information for church planters can also be found at the USA/Canada website.
In addition, our team has created the MULTIPLYNAZ website. This first one you are now on, multipynaz.org is designed to provide information about the pathway to planting, multiple models of churches, how to create a Church Development Plan for a new church, how we partner with districts, and other planting resources.
If you are a church planter, our aim is to “ramp you up” through a variety of resources as we connect you with other effective leaders within our global Nazarene network. Orientation is a season of encouraging, culture-building and inspiration where you learn more about our Nazarene network of planters and Partner Districts who share a commitment to fuel the Nazarene Movement with healthy, multiplying churches.
Another place to go for information about church planting in both the United States and Canada is our church planting regional website.
