Church planting can be a lonely calling. Paradox provides desperately needed care systems to the planter: Spiritual vitality, in-depth training, cohort coaching, family care, and creativity.

• Care System 1: Spiritual Vitality

"Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." -Psalm 127:1. We support the planter with prayer, faith, and encouragement so church planters stay close to God amidst the seemingly endless work of planting a church.



• Care System 2: Training

Unfortunately, most training for church planters is simplistic and shallow. With ongoing seminars that meet real needs, address the tough questions of church planting, and offer working strategies for impactful ministries.



• Care System 3: Cohort Coaching

There are other planters who have been where you are. We help you create a cohort of coaches to glean from their experience and encouragement.



• Care System 4: Family Care

It is very easy to feel alone while planting a church. We provide care for pastor, spouse, and family in the good, bad, and the absolutely normal times of church planting. Paradox regularly contacts our planters and creates opportunity to regularly connect with other planters.



• Care System 5: Creativity

An author makes a career out of three or four inspiring moments of creativity. A musician can make a career with three or four inspiring creative albums a decade. A church planter needs three or four moments of creativity a month just in preaching. Add to that the need inject creativity to ministries, outreach, advertising, and even church models; church plant pastors need to be extremely creative people. Together, we learn and inspire each other toward greater creativity.
