Church Planting: A Step By Step Plan With YOU In Charge

Video Overview! (FREE - Required for Video)

Have you ever thought something like this ...

"I have the vision for church planting and believe I am ready,
but can anybody take my hand and show me how to start a church?"

"Church planting? I am so passionate about church planting I can taste it!
But I still don't know exactly how to go about starting a church."

"Of course. But how? I mean 1, 2, 3, 4 -- how?
Shouldn't somebody create a church software program with content that can help?"

At last!
There is a church management software package as a resource containing editable text to help you create your plan from top to bottom! But its not just text and ideas in a boring data file! The software lets you use the hot technology of data mining to locate just the right ideas. Using the system will help you do things right. And it will help you do the right things!

If the system gives you only a 1% productivity gain, it will more than pay for itself.
And you will get much more productivity gain than that using your own ideas!
FORGET 1%
most ToolBox users report dramatic productivity improvements!

"A few days with the Ministry ToolBox helped me get a better handle on our church than anything else in my 17 years of ministry in Arizona. It is the best productivity tool I have ever seen!" Ken Emert, Pastor of Administration Phoenix, Arizona

That quote is from a pastor in a very large church and you will get all the powerful resources he has found so helpful. But the focus of the Church Creation ToolBox is church planting. Obviously, a database of ideas can't start a church. It takes people with a focused plan and the power of God. Within that framework consider these advantages of using the Church Creation ToolBox.

• Your Model: You want to start a church your way. You don't want to be stuck in someone else's church model. Intuitively you believe there might be a better way to develop a church.
  
  
• Your Choices: You might need some starter fluid! Choose from thousands of well organized ideas. Take what you want; leave the rest. Integrate ideas right into the software from any other good source you can find.
  
  
• Your Pace: You have unique needs. Craft a plan just for yourself. Let the system help you break it down into simple decisions that when executed get the results you long for.
  
  
• Your Action Plan: Many books and gurus will give you good ideas. Until now, nobody gives you a customizable action plan to put those ideas to work.
  
  
• Your Integrated Plan: You have to get everything done at once. Church starting is like cooking Christmas dinner for the first time. You have to know when to put the turkey in the oven and when to get the butter out of the refrigerator. You only get one chance to get it right. The system integrates the schedule for you.
  
  
• Your Survey: Select from a library of possible questions. Ask the questions you want of the target population you choose. Find out in advance how people are likely to respond to your ideas. Let the software crunch the data and give you the meaningful cross-referenced results.
  
  
• Your Life: Your time is limited. Save months of planning. Bring the results forward on your calendar. Imagine the benefits of arriving at the results others get in three years by the end of your first year. You can do it with a well-executed plan. The CC ToolBox provides planning tools second to none!

Been There; Done That ... Someday I will tell you my whole story. But let me tell you for now, I could write those statements because I have said them all at one time or another since my first brush with the notion of starting a church in 1970. In fact, it wasn't until 1980 that I started my first church. It took me that long to get started because I couldn't figure out where to begin! But now I can confidently say that along with a lot of grace, help from people, careful study and first hand trial and success, I can save you a pile of grief and pain as I pass the torch to the next generation!

Dream a Little ... What if ...

• Warehouse of Ideas: What if someone took all the best ideas and wrote them into a sophisticated software program?



• Editable: What if you could take all the text, modify at will and contextualize it for your ministry?



• Fast and Efficient: What if in one afternoon you could develop a draft plan to cover all the main issues with a realistic time line?



• Complete Plan: What if with one mouse click you could print out a customized draft plan with everything included?

Estimate the Value ...

• What would it be worth to you to save hundreds of hours of research and writing time?



• How much credibility would it add to your development, recruitment and fund raising if others could see scores, if not hundreds, of pages of your carefully adapted plans? Not a briefcase full of stuff from Tom, Dick, Harry or Bob. This is your own plan with your name on it. Everything in a pleasing consitent professionally pre-designed format.



• What difference would it make to potential launch team members to see that you have all your ducks in a row, but that at the same time nothing is etched in stone and the plan has plenty of flexibility for their input?



• Note to Church Planting Coordinators: What difference would it make to you if you could supply your own customized and coordinated database for your recruits to start with? How much more confidence would that give? How many more potential church planters whose decision is in the balance would see the light if they could have this kind of help?

Telling The Truth ...
In my view, the Church Creation ToolBox is the very best value you can buy! Now, you might think I am prejudiced to say that because I wrote it. The reality is, I know most of what is out there. I know there is material out there that can make your heart pound with excitement! In fact I wrote some of it!

The point is, there is a lot of good material to inspire church starting. And it is all worth considering! There are several good resources that teach you one significant methodology. And you should definitely study it!

Finding a Way ...
Until now I couldn't find a place to design my own model while using or adapting all those good ideas I read about or saw first hand in the church plants I visited. I had to extract a piece from here and adapt a piece from there to even attempt to put a plan together.

The difficulty in church planting is that it is not like it is in an existing church. In an existing church 85% of what you do has a precedent from previous history -- often last year. In church starting it is all new. There was no last year! What is more. People expect you to come up with what I call a "full service dealership" right out of the box. They have no idea how hard that is. I know. I had to find a way to design all this church stuff from scratch. That is until now!

Over time I learned some things about me and church planting. I learned that while I got the job done several times without a failure so far, I am far better suited to creating the plan than I am to executing it. I have a good friend who coined the term "ministry engineer" for me. I guess that is the truth. Sometimes it is hard to see your true self without some good friends adding their input.

After many people prodding me to add my skill and knowledge of church planting to the already highly successful Ministry ToolBox platform, eventually, I had to listen. So recently I locked myself away at a B & B and hammered out most of the material that forms the foundation of the Church Creation ToolBox. Just me, my Master, my resources, my voice recognition software, a fine porch on a converted Victorian farmhouse and the sunrise over the St. John River. Major brain dump! It was exhilarating! B & B

Approaching the Challenge ...
The incredibly powerful ToolBox platform was there for me.

• I started by defining the framework for the philosophy of ministry. That framework is the material in the Church Creation ToolBox that remains the same no matter what the culture or context. After the fact, that required a fair bit of tweaking as I ran it by other experts in the field. But you can still change it in the Church Creation ToolBox if you need to add or subtract something.
  
  
• Then there was the survey mechanism. I have had a lot of experience quarterbacking interviews with literally hundreds of thousands of people. Most of those have been residents in target communities we have reached. I also included several other surveys and questions to use in a variety of contexts. Regarding the surveying mechanism in The ToolBox, comparable software for this function alone costs much more than the cost of the entire Church Creation ToolBox. Oh yes, if you want to add some questions and throw some away, just do it!
  
  
• The really big task was to glean from all the resources out there the things we usually call church programs and marketing plans. (I hate that term -- but many use it. What they really mean is advertising plans. But that is for your Marketing 101 course -- it is worth taking that by the way.) Remember the philosophy of ministry I just mentioned? Well each piece of the philosophy (56 pieces) needed to have more than one practical plan to answer the question, "How might we do that?" I was really thankful that I seldom throw anything away. I found or created practical action plans for each of those pieces of the philosophy. In fact, because of some overlap at the practical level, each piece of the philosophy has about 5 different practical projects to use to get the job done.
  
  
• I know from experience, trying to figure out what to do next when you are hacking a path for a church plant can be tough. So I created a practical action plan for everything that was suggested. If you think a particular action item is overkill, it won't hurt my feelings when you hit the delete key! And I sure hope you add some of your own material as you go along.

How Much Can I Save ...
By now you have this figured out; this is not your average resource! For example, you can go out there and buy a church directory program. You might pay $400 for it. But we have included that too.

You can go out and buy a top flight date book program. Those programs are not so specialized, so you might invest $200 there. But we have that in here too. And it is all linked up to your plan.

You can go out and buy a good surveying program. The price? Brace yourself. Let me give you a clue. If the price isn't on the web site, it's not small! No worries. It also is included.

I wrestled my close friend Bruce Scott the developer of the ToolBox to throw in our Church Health Survey and Report. Now, in the past we have charged over $5,000 for the material included in that on a one-church-at-a-time consulting basis. The major difference is we don't come on site to give you an oral report to back up the written material. Strictly speaking this mechanism doesn't apply until you have an existing church. But you will use it about 6-12 months after you get started. You can buy The Church Health Special Edition separately from this site if you like at $197. But you don't have to. We included it in the Church Creation ToolBox.

It is difficult to place a value on the 2500 pages of material to which we give you the complete reprint and editorial rights. I know that only once did I ghost write a book for less than $10,000, and that was my first effort. You have enough material in there for 10 substantial books. You buy the Church Creation ToolBox and you own it all.

I really don't think that you will argue with me about the value of this material as justifying a price of $1197.00, will you?

Woulda Coulda Shoulda ...
Believe me! If it had been available to me at that price in 1980 when I planted my first church, I would have jumped at it. Bear in mind, my salary that year was $17,000. But I would have known without a doubt that the extra money in the offering plate in the first month would have more than covered the expense. And it would have got me started on a much firmer foundation and with a lot less stress on my family!

A No Brainer! I would have instantly figured out that finding and restoring just one more family in a year because I was better organized would be the deal of the century. Oh ... that was the last century! No matter. I would have known that in plain financial terms one more family would pay for the program.

Chances Are ...
You might be saying to yourself, "Oh my, how I wish I had known about this last month!" You may have already blown your budget. You may be saying, "I definitely agree if this is as good as it sounds it is worth $1197.00! But I don't have the money." We need to talk! I will show you a number of ways in which you can get the money -- fast. Money is no object, if you will take some initiative to find it. I will show you how. But you have to talk to me -- 905-826-3416. Leave a message if I don't answer.

Bonus ...
For a limited time, if you buy right away, I am going to make you the offer you can't refuse! I am going to bundle some things together for $1197.00 for a select few under certain conditions.

• You must agree to come to our next training session in the Toronto area. This ToolBox training is normally an additional $895.00. But you will receive this training FREE if you register while this notification is on the site. We have a limited number of spaces. If you come back and do not see this information it is because our hotel room will not accommodate any more people.

P.S. My $1197.00 offer is the best I can do! Remember, I am throwing in $895.00 of training, The Ministry ToolBox Professional Edition and the Church Creation ToolBox. I am willing to back that offer with a guarantee that I will return $2394.00 to you after the training session if you just tell me you don't think you are getting fair value for your investment. That will be money right out of my pocket if you ask for it. Clearly, I don't believe you will!

P.P.S. If you take the tour where you will see screen shots and samples of the actual printed material from the CC ToolBox, as a thank you, I will give you a digital copy of our classic book I mentioned above "How To Reproduce Your Church."
