Corps Planting

Corps planting takes place in many ways. Small groups, outposts, second congregations, in partnership with social services, from a mother corps or pioneering a new corps are all possible options – each with its own variations as we respond to unique and changing communities .

For more information, please contact the Corps Mission Resource Secretary or the Corps Health and Planting Consultant (see contact info at the bottom of the page).

Coaching/Consulting

The initial phases of start-up can feel very open-ended, which is both exciting and raises many questions. Working through the central questions (What has God called us to? Who are our neighbours? How can we move forward?) and having some options which have assisted others in developing corps both accelerates the process and reduces stress. 

Training

We offer individualized training and partner with other planting agencies and church organizations (denominations) to provide opportunities for shared learning.

Church Planting Canada

We have connected with the broader Canadian church through a network which allows for mutual sharing of mission lessons learned.(churchplantingcanada.ca)

Research

Understanding local communities allows for deeper engagement and if it is done with a “neighbourly” attitude the research can demonstrate care. Research of larger trends can assist in identifying direction at the local level.
