This year our equippers were able to spend a week with 16 current or future church planters. It was a beautiful week at Holy Trinity Retreat Center in Pikesville, MD, just outside of Baltimore.

We engaged in rhythms of prayer together, talked about church planting, leadership development, developing a culture of discipleship and a lot more.

This was the first year of doing this training that we had more female than male planters attending! We count that as an exciting development.

Here’s what some of the participants had to say about the week:

“It was incredibly helpful and encouraging week. There was a great balance between strategic discussion and tending to our hearts. The opportunity to connect with church planters from around the country was exciting and edifying.”
