Are you sensing God’s call to start a new church but aren’t sure where to start? Offered fully online, Fuller’s Certificate in Church Planting helps aspiring church planters to discern whether they’re called and which city they are called to plant in.

Our faculty and practitioners provide you with the healthy root system you’ll need to plant a flourishing church that makes disciples and plants churches.

We believe the three roots needed are

• a biblical theology of church planting,
• the spiritual formation of the planter, and
• the missional skills to reach a post-Christian culture.

Spiritual Formation

Starting a new church is extremely stressful, so students are formed to thrive in Christ through spiritual practices and self-care.

Missional Competencies

Fuller trains students to contextualize the unchanging gospel to reach the people group, culture, and cities to which they are called.

Biblical Theology

Compared to many strictly pragmatic resources, Fuller helps ground students in a robust theology of God’s missional heart in Scripture.
