The London Seminary have hosted their annual Plant Conference – encouraging and equipping around 15 leaders from different networks in church planting.
The aim of the day – which took place as part of London Seminary’s wider ‘Plant’ course – was to help those wanting to begin vibrant new congregations to meet, think and discuss their plans. Three morning sessions were led by Dan Steel, principal of Yarnton Manor (pictured) and former pastor of Magdalen Road Church in Oxford, and Barry King, who runs the ‘Plant’ course. The afternoon finished with a Q&A session, giving attendees the chance to learn from more experienced church planters.
Dan Steel’s sessions were based on his recent book Wise Church Planting, going through 12 pitfalls to avoid in starting new churches.
