Over the years, we have collected various resources and presentations that provide insights to new Home Missions in how to engage their communities.
Church Planter Intensive
Tim Spiegelberg is a joint author along with Jared Oldenburg of the materials used in the “Church Planter Intensive” gatherings we offer to all missionaries headed to a new start setting. Tim’s document is actually an expansion on those materials and used some of the specific examples of how they’ve been implemented at Carbon Valley Lutheran in Firestone CO. He used this expanded outline at a retreat for dmb members and missionaries in Michigan back in 2019.
Reaching Community – Practical Thoughts
Doug Van Sice put together a workshop on leadership for a congregation in Milwaukee. Much of it is based on his research and experiences at the new mission plant in Huntersville NC the past eight years.
Engaging the Community
Dan Simons’ document is considerably more succinct. He’s been at a re-start setting in Macomb (NE metro Detroit) the past 8 years
