I want to invite you to a select training opportunity this Fall sponsored by NorthWood Church. The training is a special cohort experience where church planters can learn from some of the best practitioners in church planting without a long term “onsite” training commitment. The leaders for this cohort are Bob Roberts of NorthWood Church, John Jenkins, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church of Glenarden and Terry Virgo, leader of New Frontiers in the UK.

The cohort is limited to the first 20 planters that are approved.This process consists of 2 two-day on site training opportunities that include four elements of successful planting which are global in scope and foundational in practice.

MODULE 1 is August 11-12, 2011 and covers:  The Kingdom of God, The Heart Of The Disciple, and The Engagement of Society.
MODULE 2 is November 2-3, 2011 and covers:  Making Disciples, Engaging Your City, and Becoming A Church Multiplication Center.

As a huge bonus for this cohort, the second Module is followed by IMAGINE, November 3-5. IMAGINE is an annual Church Planters Gathering for all previous NorthWood Church Planters. This reunion will allow our planters to share best practices in peer to peer learning,  and also be inspired by some incredible sessions. Terry Virgo will be joining us for the Gathering.

In between Module 1 and Module 2, there will be some great online video training that you can engage in through our closed online site.
If you or somebody you know would like to engage in this cohort, please contact Alecia Ashworth for more information at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

REQUIREMENTS: There is an online pre-assessment. We also reserve the cohort to planters that are in the process of planting. You need to either be no longer than 2 years out or up to 6 months into your plant.

*If you are an existing denominational leader or senior pastor, you may attend this training IF you bring a planter. Our heart is to train planters and pastors to start mulitiplication centers all over the U.S. We would love to serve and empower you to do this.

COST: The cost for this training is $349, but we do have scholarships for those that will be traveling and also those of you that have participated in our 1 day Turbo overview.

LOCATION: Both Modules and IMAGINE are at NorthWood Church, 1870 Rufe Snow in Keller, Texas.

Do not wait to register. It’s already filling up. We would love for you as a NorthWood parnter to have the first opportunity.
