Planting a church is incredibly rewarding — though rarely an easy process. So many people are behind you, but few understand the unique dynamics of leading and growing something from scratch. That’s what our training is designed for. We help you avoid common pitfalls of church planting, step into your God-given leadership potential, and craft a plan to move forward and plant your life-giving church.
Nexus Was Huge From Day One
"(Nexus) was huge from day one! Just to have that ongoing partnership in ministry and that extra motivating factor to keep pressing on, to keep doing, to keep growing, to keep thinking."
Mike Moser, Lead Pastor - Connection Christian Church
This 3-phase training is a proven process that equips church planters with the support and education you need to plant the church God has placed in your heart. The Art of The Start ensures church planters like you are ready for Kingdom impact.
"I cannot thank the people at Nexus enough. Your training (The Art of The Start) prepares leaders to communicate a clear and compelling vision. The care you provide church planters is inspiring. The discipleship training is changing how we prepare our church planters and the DNA of the churches we plant. Thank you for partnering with us and helping us to grow people and God’s Kingdom in our region."
Chad Halbach, Director – Christian Evangelistic Mission
Twice a year, we converge to equip and encourage one another on this journey in ministry. ThinkNEXT allows you to connect with like-minded leaders who can guide you in your mission to make strong disciples. We’re better together — and ThinkNEXT helps us continue to dream, plan, and lead ourselves, our families, and our churches.
“I could see how in church planting you could feel very alone if you weren’t careful. Nexus has done a good job of removing that possibility for me.”
Steve Bolin, Lead Minister
Thrive Church
The Bonhoeffer Project is a year-long leadership development virtual cohort to help you reclaim the ‘Discipleship-First Gospel,’ craft a disciple-making plan, and change the world — one person at a time. This 10-month process will challenge and equip you to intentionally develop disciple-makers.
“The Bonhoeffer Project has been a refreshing look at the very words of Jesus in light of what discipleship should be. It truly helped me to put into practice what I had been struggling to do for years. The Bonhoeffer Project has brought joy back to the ministry God has called me to do.”
Brian Snyder, Lead Pastor
The Well
The Clarity Project ensures individuals and leadership teams gain clarity regarding who they are and what God has called them to do as a church, organization, or person.
“Andrew (the leader of this project) is an effective, relatable developer of people. He is the best kind of coach—the kind who meets you where you are and successfully guides you forward. Andrew is a clear communicator who is both client- focused and Jesus-led. I trust him with my friends.”
Jessie Cruickshank
Author of Ordinary Discipleship
This Process is a Godsend

Patrick Lightfoot, Lead Pastor – Traverse Christian Church
