The Center
for Pioneer Church Planting
The Center for
Pioneer Church Planting (CPCP) is a unique missionary
training program that combines intensive in-class
preparation and study in South Texas with ‘hands-on’
training in actual church planting locations in Papua New
Guinea and Mexico. We believe that the only effective way to
learn how to plant churches is by doing it with experienced
church planters. That does not mean we minimize the
importance of classroom learning, but we do believe the
actual on-field mentoring coupled with the classroom is what
makes our training unique.
The Center for
Pioneer Church Planting does not replace a college or
seminary degree. The training offered in this program is
designed specifically for those interested in pioneer church
planting among unreached and least reached people groups. A
college degree is not required for entrance into the
program. We are looking for people who believe that God is
calling them to cross-cultural church planting. Some may
sense the Lord’s leading but are not completely certain of
where He may be leading. The training the CPCP offers may be
one of the tools God uses to provide instruction and
direction. Because we believe strongly in the centrality of
the local church in sending missionaries, we strongly
encourage those interested in this training to seek the
godly counsel of trusted pastors and church leaders in the
decision making process.
While the focus
in the on-the-job training is primarily among tribal groups,
we believe the principles of church planting that will be
taught are universal and cut across cultures, target groups,
and religious backgrounds. Classroom training will focus on
a broad range of topics. Theology and cross-cultural issues
will obviously be a primary focus but we will have very
practical studies including missionary health and first aid
studies. Days of worship and prayer will also be built into
the schedule. The goal of this training program is to help
local churches further prepare pioneer church planters for
the task of finishing the Great Commission.
