Many Australians are largely unaware of Jesus and his purpose for their lives. What can be done? We agree with Peter Wagner who said “Church planting is the best tool for evangelism under the sun”. To meet this challenge, Gateway is launching a Church Planting Practicum in 2005.

Participants will be exposed to some of the latest training methods and resources for church planting. Units will include knowing your call & vision, missional thinking, philosophy of ministry, strategic planning, team building, and models of church planting, among others. The goal of the Practicum is to launch you as an effective leader and/or team-member of a church planting team.

The Practicum is a 12-month course delivered in weekend intensive units, from May 2005 to March 2006. To apply for the Practicum, or for more information, contact Gateway on +61 3 5971-5628 or email us at:
