Cohorts are designed to provide a hands on ministry experience for those who are called to plant a church. Ideally, applicants will have a college education, ministry experience and are looking to develop ministry and leadership skills.
Start dates vary with availability. Inquire for more details.
Approximately 10-15 hours per week are set for program involvement.
Every church planter must have a sending entity—no one should plant alone.
A sending entity can be a local church, a network, or a district/denomination that affirms your call, provides accountability, and commits to support you. This tribe of people surrounds you with prayer, encouragement, and covering. In most cases, the sending entity also covers the $3,500 or 1% of annual budget for training.
Contact us! We will set up a time to discuss your specific ministry calling and determine together if the role will help you achieve your ministry goals.

CHURCH PLANTER TESTIMONIALS

RACHAEL COLLINS

“The Awaken Network has been invaluable to me in helping me learn the practical aspects of church planting. The biggest blessing & help has come in the form of people who have come alongside me to support, guide, encourage, & walk with me as I discerned the kind of Church God was actually calling me to plant. We need more champions of church planting who believe Jesus is building all kinds of Churches!”
Kaleo Church
ALLISON & ZACH MILLER

“The Awaken Network lasts more than the training period. As we have gone through planting our church and as questions come up as well as days that are lonely — you get put into a Network of other planters and pastors that really care about you and are ready to answer questions at a moments notice.”
AARON HANSEN

“When I think about the most impactful things that I received from the Awaken Network, I immediately think of the continuous reminders that this isn’t REALLY about planting a church, it’s about listening to God and positioning my heart to be obedient to what He asks. If I’m so focused on “the launch” or the fundraising, or the programs, but I fail to spend time - INTIMATE time with God, then I’m completely missing what God has for me in this season. “
Ransom Church Yankton
JAKE THURSTON

“The Awaken Network helped me think through so many facets of church planting I never would have thought through on my own. Receiving regular one-on-one coaching was especially helpful, as it gave me practical advice tailored to our unique planting context. Resilient Church truly would not be where it’s at today without the support of Awaken!”
Resilient Church
JEREMIAH CLEMENTS

“Discerning and distilling God’s call to plant a church in a given place is vital. If discernment is the spiritual act of recognizing God’s vision for your church and community, then distilling that call is the strategic act of pursuing clarity for the shape of that vision. The Awaken Network’s team coaches you toward that clarity, helping planters find succinct answers to the question of “why THIS church in THIS community?” We don’t need more one-size-fits-all churches looking for the latest trends to fast track copy-and-paste success; we need local churches that are planted and cultivated in the local soil, bringing the hope and Good News of Jesus to the particular challenges and dynamics of each specific context.”
