Planting New Churches

The Church Planter Assessment Center (CPAC) is designed to evaluate potential church planting team leaders, staff members, and their spouses (if appropriate) for the gifts and talents to be successful in this essential ministry. The CPAC team will make a concrete recommendation with regard to the potential success of a candidate within their position of choice and will offer appropriate affirmations and development suggestions.

This is boot camp for church planting teams – an opportunity to explore, define and refine the practical nuts and bolts of planting a church. This is a heavily packed few days (Thursday evening – Sunday afternoon) of learning, thinking and preparing for effective church planting. This boot camp immerses the church planter, and their team, into a learning lab environment.

There are three million people living in 77 Chicago neighborhoods that we pray are drawn to the heart of the Father. Alliance Chicago is a network of catalytic leaders and teams engaged in micro-churches around Chicago to be present and engaged in those neighborhoods. They are finding contextually appropriate forms and strategies to evangelize, disciple, and multiply believers in the city of Chicago.

We’d love to talk with you about the pathway to becoming a micro-church under Alliance Chicago! Any group that will align with our values and C&MA DNA, our base ecclesiology of worship, community, and mission, and will come under the covering of Alliance Chicago can be a micro-church.
