When your church is ready to sponsor a new congregation, the Church Starting Group can provide training. Churches can learn how best to relate to and supervise a church starter and a new work with the help of an experienced State Church Starting Strategist. A number of pitfalls can be avoided in developing the relationship between the sponsor church and the new work. Contact the Church Starting Group for assistance.
