    Are you ready to move from a spiritual burden into a real, living, accountable micro church ministry?

    This course equips volunteer ministers, church leaders, Soul Center founders, emerging church planters, and ministry builders to plant a healthy micro church through a local church or as the defined purpose of a registered Soul Center.

    Planting a Micro Church Through a Local Church or Soul Center equips students to develop small, relational, accountable expressions of Christian church life. A micro church may take shape as a house church, neighborhood church, table church, dinner church, workplace gathering, digital fellowship, village fellowship, daughter church, or Soul Center micro church.

    This course helps students move from calling and hospitality to real church formation. Students learn how to define a micro church, distinguish it from a Bible study or small group, identify a mission field, develop a gathering rhythm, connect to wise oversight, build safety and boundary practices, invite people without a large budget, and prepare a practical 90-day launch plan.

    The goal is not merely to host a meeting. The goal is to develop a living, faithful, accountable Christian community where people hear the gospel, grow as disciples, pray for revival, practice hospitality, serve their neighbors, and raise up future leaders.
