Put what you're learning into practice

Tools for discovery and conversation

An assessment cannot define your calling. It can give you language for what you are already seeing, help identify areas to explore, and create useful conversations with the people who know and serve alongside you.

Resources are better in relationship

Tools and teaching can help you grow, but they are meant to be lived out alongside others. Connect with a DOVE church where you can learn, serve, and grow in community.

Build a Budget With What You Know

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.

Start with a plan

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.
