Church Planting
is a carefully thought out translation of NCD into church planting principles
and models. It is the most practical and biblically based training for church
planting. I wish I had this training
before planting my last congregation.”
Gary Shockley, NCD Coach and Church Planter Orlando, FL
During the last several years hundreds of leaders from 22 denominations have experienced how Natural Church Planting helps planters and their teams use the Quality Characteristics of Natural Church Development as dynamic building blocks for a new church. Rather than an organizational approach, Natural Church Planting empowers planters to organically build health and vitality into the new church as it emerges from the very first day.
Natural Church Planting Learning Communities facilitate spiritual formation and transformation in the lives of the Planter and Church Planting Team by focusing on the teachings of Jesus in the Upper Room and seeing how those principles are lived out in the life of Barnabas. Inquiries from leaders in 43 countries is an indicator that NCP has a broad appeal cross culturally.

Miriam Gluyas, The Salvation Army, Sydney Australia
Natural Church Planting is not model centered but principle based. It provides Church Planters and their teams with a group process for developing strategic initiatives that are rooted to their community and calling as a new congregation. Church Planting trainings today teach the planting process without empowering leaders to understand church. NCP communicates vital principles about both church and planting.

David Jackson, Church Planting Specialist, Maryland Baptist Convention
Up until now the principles of Natural Church Development have been out of reach of church planters since NCD measures the relative health of an existing congregation through a detailed survey. Natural Church Planting empowers a planter to begin applying these principles from day one whether the are any people gathered. We take the survey and make it a compass specifically designed for church planters.
As both a cell church consultant and NCD coach I have found the Natural Church Planting concepts to be tremendously helpful in assisting cell church planters incorporate the principles into the very DNA of their plant rather than waiting until a later date to discover what they should have focused their energies from the start. I have also found it both challenging and beneficial in understanding church planting to view it through the eyes of Barnabas.

A brand new publication Exploring Natural Church Planting
Above is a sampling of the feedback we have received from 700 leaders who have been part of our NCP Learning Communities. We have had inquiries from 35 states in the US and 43 countries. Several who have been part of our training have expressed an interest in translating it into their own languages.
To meet the affirming response, we have written an introduction called Exploring Natural Church Planting that enables you to understand the principles of NCP before coming to one of our training events. What you will read in these pages are not theories but ideas but come from our field testing since 2001.
