Planting Healthy Churches is both an academic textbook and a course. It is provided by Multiplication Network Ministries as a free resource for Bible colleges and seminaries. The textbook, prepared by nine contributors from different denominations and written at an introductory level, is the centerpiece of a church planting course. The authors write with church planting experience in different countries and with a background in training and teaching thousands of students and church planters.

The Introduction to Stronger Churches workshop enables church leaders to keep a congregation focused on its task as God's agent in a particular place. The workshop presents the importance of a biblically defined vision, introduces leaders to the ten characteristics of a healthy church, and invites leaders to see their church as a system that can have a significant impact on its community. This manual provides additional material and suggestions for people who wish to lead the workshop.

In this four-session workshop, you will learn the basics of what a mentoring program should be like. Although what is taught in these four sessions can be applied in different contexts in the church, the purpose of this specific mentor training is for pastors of the mother church who will coach church planters who are in the process of planting their own churches.

This book presents ten vital signs of a healthy church: five key commitments and five key functions. It then introduces you to a church health diagnostic tool you can apply to your setting. Thousands of pastors and leaders around the world have found this framework helpful in organizing the ministry and mission of the local church. This book and the free diagnostic tool it presents are most useful if accompanied by a robust engagement in conversations.
