Training
Train the Trainer
This program orients trainers to City to City's urban church planter Incubator curriculum, a two-year course that can be adapted for their city.
We believe that by employing a training curriculum that increasingly reflects the practitioners’ own culture, leaders will develop a locally delivered training program that more effectively serves church planters.
Incubator
The Incubator is our key two-year program to serve, train, and develop church planters for Canadian cities, delivered through local trainers.
Each learning module addresses the specific needs of urban planters, including skills in thinking theologically about ministry, and growth in the various areas of urban ministry. Church planters go through the program during the critical phase of launching their congregations. They get practical help on writing their action plan, the philosophy of ministry, crucial ministry development, and preaching, among other topics. Ideally, this training is accompanied by coaching to encourage the planters to perform to the maximum extent of their giftedness.
upcoming incubators
City to City Canada, in collaboration with City to City Australia, offers the Transformational Preaching Incubator unit.
Preaching is vital to the life and health of God’s people. Christian leaders must continually grow in their ability to faithfully interpret the Bible and communicate its message effectively, so that Jesus is proclaimed in a way that deeply resonates with all who hear.
The Transformational Preaching Incubator unit equips preachers for that task. Over two days, participants will gain clarity and be equipped to achieve grace-enabled transformation through their preaching. They will engage in collaborative analysis and critique of sermons, both their own and those of others, to apply what they learn to their actual sermons.
