Short-term teams go for a week or two to work alongside churches and ministries DOVE already knows. You do not need to be an expert in anything. You do need to be willing to serve and be flexible, and to get a recommendation from your pastor.
Teams open and close through the year. Past teams stay listed here because they are the clearest picture of what going actually involves.
Each team has its own link to apply on its page. If none of these suit you, the people already serving long term are the other way in.

A first-year church planting budget comes with plenty of unknowns. Start with what you know, estimate what you don’t, and build a financial plan you can refine as the church grows.
A clear budget helps you anticipate expenses, recognize potential challenges, and make better financial decisions before they become urgent. Tracking income and expenses throughout your first year also gives you real numbers to work from when planning the next.
If administration isn’t your strength, involve someone who is gifted in it. The church planter doesn’t have to build the budget alone, but every church plant should have one.
For more guidance on budgeting and the church planting process, explore Church Planting Made Practical, compiled by Ron Myer with Jeff Hoglen.
