WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A CHURCH PLANTER OR OTHER MINISTRY ENTREPRENEUR?
Beyond the vocational capabilities every church planter needs, there's a range of capabilities more difficult to measure but even more essential: spiritual competencies, which have to do not just with behaviors but also with the motivations, agendas, and scripts that drive them.
This practical course helps planters invest in their own physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health so they can serve Christ for the long haul.

Your guide:
Dr. Tim Morey
Tim Morey (DMin, Fuller Theological Seminary) is founding and lead pastor at Life Covenant Church in Torrance, California. He serves as a church-planting coach for the Evangelical Covenant Church and as an adjunct professor at Fuller Theological Seminary.
As a church planter himself, Tim knows the challenges common to church planters, the many pressures that can leave you feeling spiritually depleted, exhausted, and even burned out. It can be dangerous to neglect your own spiritual care as you plant. In this course, Tim guides you with key questions, helpful frameworks, and cohort conversations that will help you experience the presence of Jesus in your ministry.
