The Church Planting Kids Ministry Residency Program of First Baptist Church of West Palm Beach (FBC) is an intensive program designed to train and resource Children’s Ministry leaders and church planters as part of the Send South Florida initiative. Our goal is to plant viable churches in communities throughout Palm Beach County and beyond, in an effort to spread the gospel throughout the South Florida region.
Planting a church is a difficult task even for the most gifted individual. It is, therefore, our belief that there is no substitute for proper training and personal integrity for the person who believes they have been called to church planting. For that reason, our primary goals include: providing a solid doctrinal foundation, developing specific ministry skills and placing an emphasis on strong moral character. These themes have been purposely integrated throughout the program and, should the need arise, any observed deficiencies in these areas will be addressed in a constructive, Christ-honoring manner.
Throughout this program, there will be on-going evaluations of each candidate, including personal progress and the health of their family. It is our intent not only to prepare you for the immediate purpose of planting a church but also to prepare you for the on-going challenges of maintaining a new church. Our hope and prayer for you is the process of planting a church will be a positive and rewarding experience for your entire family.
