Drawing on insights from the training practices of the English medieval
craft guilds, a global survey of 500 church planters, interviews with
artists and church planting trainers and the authors’ 30 years of
ministry experience, 'The Craft of Church Planting' offers a distinctive
and imaginative perspective on the methods used to train future
practitioners in the art of church planting.
Demonstrating
how training for the next generation of church planting leaders might
be informed by the historic master-apprentice model, guild learning
communities, creativity and an artisan approach to ministry, this book
is a vital resource to inform the methods of training for the next
generation of church planters.
