Plant a Church

Outlined below is our five step process for all men who desire to start a church with the Spanish River Church Planting Network. This is a highly relational process and you will be given personal guidance each step of the way.

1. Inquiry

All men who are interested in affiliation with the Network must fill out our inquiry form to give us a brief idea about who you are, your calling, and your faith story. You can access that form by clicking this link, and a member of our team will respond to you within 5 business days.

2. Application

Application to the Network is based on an invitation only process that begins with the initial interview. If you and a member of our team believe that application is the next right step in your calling, you will be given access to our application form. The Church Planter Application gives us detailed information on all of our applicants. Once you have completed this form, a member of our church planting team will respond to you within 5-10 business days.

3. First Board Review

All applications are reviewed by the members of our Church Planting Board. A representative from the Board will contact you, if necessary, and inform you of the Board’s desire to have you submit an official proposal. If selected, you will be given a proposal outline form to fill out and send back to a member of our team.

4. Proposal

A member of our Church Planting team will coach you through the entire proposal process. We supply you with all of the templates you will need to create your proposal. The church plant proposal is comprised of four basic components.

•  Church Planter(s) resume, assessment results
• Church Plant theological position, vision, mission, and values, missional strategy, core group information, timeline, long term goals, etc.
• Church Plant target location information
• Financial Budget

5. Final Board Review

Once you have completed these four steps, you will be eligible to present your proposal to our experienced church planting board. At that time our church planting board will accept, decline, or make recommendations regarding your proposal.
