This course is by Black planters for Black planters. It's not about how to plant a church, but about how to fully show up as a Black man or woman to plant a Black or multiethnic church. This cohort is designed to acknowledge and address the unique contexts Black church planters face. You'll spend four months together as a cohort with rich community and relevant content.
