As you begin the great journey of church planting exploration, you may be wondering, "How do I know if 'Church Planting' is where God wants me?" If so, you are not alone. The most effective church planters all began with a head full of questions about their place in this ministry.
To help you navigate these uncertain waters, the West Coast Church Planting Group has provided a number of resources to help discern this calling. One great resource is the "Discovery Tools" workbook. You can download this book online by clicking the below link. This workbook asks a number of questions about your calling, spiritual giftedness, and passion for ministry. Answering these questions will give you and the group a better understanding of how you fit into the Church Planting ministry.
There’s even a condensed online self-scoring version of Discovery Tools (see the link below).
