Church Planning Resources views the church as the living Body of Christ described by Paul in 1 Corinthians, chapter 12. We use an organic model in which the congregation is seen not as an organization, but as an organism. Each congregation, each organism has its own genetic code that makes it unique. CPR helps each congregation "decode" and fully understand this Spiritual DNA.     Our unique PACES training series provides a personalized, one–on–one consultation experience featuring five full–day workshops that help churches prepare for growth and change, attract newcomers and visitors, connect people to God and each other, equip members for ministry and serve others through small groups and teams. This training package includes private interviews with Vision Team members, a town-hall style meeting with your congregation, coaching sessions and a Sunday service evaluation. CPR assists in the preparation and review of a ministry plan.   Cluster Training Three churches (maximum) "cluster" together for five all–day workshops. We observe a Sunday service, and provide an on-site consultation session to review the ministry plan.   Three-Day Intensive Provides a "quick start" for congregations that want top of the line church growth information. A condensed, economical alternative to the Individual Consultation. It is presented on three consecutive days in either a single congregation or a "Cluster" format.   Clergy and/or Church Leadership Retreats Provides a positive team building experience for either clergy or lay leadership groups. Excellent for staff, newly elected office holders or board members. Provides clarity around your Mission, Vision and Values.   Customized Training We will design a special training package for you based on your needs.
