Short-Cycle Church Planting is a team-based approach to church planting. We aim to develop mature, reproducing churches led by nationals within five years of arrival in the field. Ultimately, it is about God's power flowing through teams.

With this approach, every element of the church-planting process, from language learning to evangelism to leadership development, is undertaken simultaneously and accomplished as efficiently as possible within our faith context.

Short-Cycle Church Planting doesn’t look the same in every field. Flexibility is built into this strategy so that teams can adjust to the cultural and political environments of a particular country. Whatever the specific means, the goal is to establish and develop a church as quickly as possible so that, with whatever time God gives us in a field, lives are transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.
