Other Testimonies

• “Susan and I had just planted Life Church Hyde when we joined the Church Planting Academy to learn how to do it properly! Not only did we gain expert tuition from some amazing people who had years of experience, we also received great encouragement from the team and have formed some important praying friendships with other delegates on a similar adventure. SO good!” - Martin and Susan Cooling

• “The teaching has been excellent and life affirming  and it’s been  a privilege to have such highly esteemed qualified and experienced Church planters and Leadership team leading the course. The weekly teaching was always richly varied with guest speakers and was informative and uplifting. It had its emotional highs and lows too as it really got to and ploughed your heart!” - Ruth Chwaszcza

Back in 2018, we believe God spoke to us saying that His spirit has been whispering into the hearts of ordinary men and women across the UK, about being part of a church planting movement. We believe some have tried to bury these words as their response, like that of Gideon, convinced there are better candidates. Others were more excited about hearing such a word, but have wondered how they can practically move forward.

We believe God invited us to ‘call these words in’ – to speak life over them and to help people step into their reality. Our response was to create the Church Planting Academy which provides an opportunity for people to join a mission fuelled community and prepare individuals to step into the call of God.

Since its launch at that time, we’ve seen people from all different backgrounds participate from across the country. We’ve also seen at least 5 churches planted, led by people from all walks of life. But this is just the start, God is calling even more people to reach communities with the love of God and to witness transformation in hearts.
