Basic Training

Basic Training is a nuts-and-bolts training on church planting offered by the Northwest Baptist Convention.  We are offering the content in an ongoing learning style, starting with an overnight in-person training, followed by Zoom trainings on additional content. We wrap up the course with a final in-person session.


Previously offered as a four day immersive experience, we are redesigning the course to allow time for processing and implementing what you are learning.


Join us for the first session of Basic Training (BT), which takes place in-person. We are offering it at 4 different times & locations throughout the Northwest for your convenience.
