Starting a Microchurch

Starting a new microchurch is simpler than it seems. We have identified five steps to start a new microchurch.

1. Microchurch Leader Training | A two-hour training designed to walk new microchurch leaders through the basics, answer questions, and provide advice and coaching.

2. Recruit a Launch Team | We recommend starting a new microchurch with 3-5 committed members—those who are committed to microchurch and eager to invite others.

3. Pray through Microchurch Essentials | The Microchurch Essentials curriculum offers a helpful way for the launch team to pray, strategize, and become familiar with Microchurch. We recommend going through Essentials with the launch team before inviting others to your new Micochurch.

4. Launch Microchurch | Identify a launch date and start. A timeline for launching a new Microchurch might look like;

   4 months out – Microchurch Leader Training
   3 months out – Recruit Launch Team
   2 months out – Pray through Microchurch Essentials
   Launch microchurch!

   This is an example timeline; many microchurches can come together more quickly. Others take more time.

5. Ongoing Training & Coaching | Once per quarter, microchurch leaders get together for peer learning and coaching.
