Urban Church Planting (BC-309)

Explore spiritual and practical strategies for planting churches, winning souls, and making disciples in the rapidly growing urban context.

About This Course

With urban populations expected to increase significantly, there is a pressing need for more people planting churches and making disciples in urban centers. This course draws lessons from APC's own journey and global leaders to explore strategies for urban church planting.

"We need people who understand the needs of today's urban centers and who know how to minister in an urban context. We envisage and project the future of urban life and urban church ministry."

We discuss the opportunities and challenges of urban ministry, address the personal preparation required for church planters, and explore spiritual dynamics, practical strategies, and future preparedness for urban church growth.
