Reimagining Church Planting for a New Era

The world has changed — and so must the Church. The Post-Pandemic Church Planting Initiative is a 9-month, cohort-based learning experience designed for co-vocational pastors, church planters, and mission-driven leaders navigating a landscape marked by deconstruction, disaffiliation, and cultural shifts.

Led by Rev. Dr. Eun K. Strawser (author of Centering Discipleship) and Scott Austin, this initiative provides a theologically rich, practically grounded, and peer-supported approach to starting and sustaining churches in today’s world.
