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.


Currently we are in the ongoing Zoom training portion of Basic Training.
