TRNI helps Annual Conference leaders address questions such as:
- How can we help more churches to catch the vision of planting other churches?
- How can we build a disciple-making culture in our churches?
- How will we equip our Annual Conference Church Multiplication team to fulfill their role?
- How do we equip and resource planters to succeed?
We partner with Annual Conferences to help them develop a culture of multiplication at all levels.
Level 1 - Seminars (Information)
Select any or all of the following seminars for your Annual Conference:
* Your Church can Multiply; Why and how any church can multiply. For clergy and laity
* Parenting a New Church: How churches can sponsor a church plant.
* Disciple-making Made Simple (but not easy): introduction to Discovery Bible Study as a tool to multiply disciples and leaders.
* Multiplying Disciples Practicum - online 8-week practicum
Guide participants to take the steps to make disciples who make disciples:
- Deepen your own discipleship
- Practice a simple, tested disciple-making approach
- Instill the DNA of groups that multiply
- Reproduce disciple-making leaders
Recommended for a church team of three (Pastor and two church leaders), though individuals are also invited to participate.
