Four12 Resources

Church Planting

We believe in the value of planting churches, and have church planting resources for any believer who feels that they are called to lead a plant or to support one. It is our intent to provide godly foundations and speak around the practical skills and heart needed to build God’s church according to His blueprint rather than man’s. We trust that these resources will help to align our hearts with God’s and to lead His Bride well.
