WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
I really love the Launch Class because you get to talk with people from around the country; people who are in totally different situations than you, and people who are similar. You can bounce ideas off of each other and get a lot of encouragement. The teaching is done really well and you get a lot of time to collaborate with your groups. If you are interested in going out in your community and doing something new and real, this is a really good way to learn how to do it and connect with other people who are on the same path as you.
Carrie GoldsmithFamily Life Pastor 
I value what I have learned about the Communities on Mission strategy and approach and how it is applied to accomplish the goal of bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth. It has been exciting to see how the Launch Class has been modified to incorporate the feedback from earlier classes. These changes have enabled class members to move from just learning new concepts and ideas to actual implementation of Kingdom projects.
Tim AldersonCounselor/Coach 
I have observed an increasing desire for my people to integrate the Faith they express on Sundays through the rest of week. I believe Communities on Mission will help our people discover purpose and mobilize to bring God’s Kingdom close. I can’t wait to lean into more discussions and learn more from the passionate and knowledgeable staff.
J.P. VanDalsemPastor 
Often in the church world, the question of how we help our congregation participate in God's mission can seem complex and impractical. Where should one start? Communities on Mission give leaders a tangible method and helpful structure to mobilize their people to be active in their neighborhood or city. The simplicity and clarity of the vision of Communities on Mission is an invaluable tool for any pastor seeking to lead their people to take part in God's "Heaven on Earth" project.
Danny AtkinsPastor 
In my pastoral experience, I find that the vast majority of people today are either struggling with loneliness, walking through life without a purpose or both. Communities on Mission not only beautifully reflect God’s communal and sending nature, they also provide an answer to both of these needs. I believe that, in providing a space for real and honest connection as well as being on mission together, Communities on Mission can contribute to creating holistically healthier cities as God intended them.

You will develop practical action steps towards launching your Communities on Mission and report on your progress and accomplishments weekly. We will answer questions and talk about the challenges that you are facing and you will gain insights from your peers who are learning alongside you and experiencing similar challenges.
Weekly time commitment:
- 3-4 hours launch preparation

topics covered in the launch class
- You will understand the bigger WHY behind Communities on Mission. (It is true in any area of our lives: If we don’t know the bigger WHY, we will get frustrated and burn out.)
- You will learn how to set up the structure of Communities on Mission so that true impact and multiplication can take place.
- You will not only get a crystal clear action plan on how to start and develop Communities on Mission, but we will *actually launch* Communities on Mission in your local context during the eight-week class.
- We will show you how to best introduce Communities on Mission in your local church without needing to change anything that you are currently doing. (Communities on Mission are one of the best ways to help traditional churches become more missional without creating frustration or having to get everyone on board.)
- We will help you set up the leadership structure for your Communities on Mission and explain in detail the difference between a “Community Leader” and a “Mission Leader” and outline why both are important.
- We will identify the five biggest needs in your community and how your church can make a difference through Communities in Mission in these areas.
- You will be part of a group of like-minded pastors who experience similar challenges and will encourage each other along the way.
- Since everything rises and falls with leadership, the class will help you identify potential leaders who can start Communities on Mission in your church. (We will also show you how we can easily train your leaders and get them ready to start a Community on Mission.)
- We will introduce you to a tool that helps leaders assess the spiritual journey of the people in their Community on Mission and outlines the next steps on their discipleship journey. (This will help your leaders know how to lead people through a spiritual process.)
- You will learn how to effectively mentor, shepherd and set up goals with your Community on Mission leaders. (The long-term success of your Communities on Mission depends on a mentor who knows how to support their leaders.)
- You will get a prayer structure to guide leaders in praying for the people in their Community on Mission. (This is a great tool that makes sure that leaders pray for the people in their Community.)

reasons not to join
Consider this:
Over 400 pastors and leaders have gone through the Launch Class and many are in the process of implementing Communities on Mission across the United States of America. From church planters, to small churches with 20 members, to churches with over 10,000. Communities on Mission can work in many different contexts and churches and there are new Communities on Mission launched every week.
Consider this:
When you join the Launch Class you are joining a community that wants to help you succeed. The Launch Class is set up in a way that will guide you step by step in the process. You will have your own cohort that will support you as you are implementing what you are learning. You will have access to all the help you need. You just have to trust the process.
Consider this:
We teach you not to change your church but to actually, over time, change your church culture. We encourage you to start Communities on Mission on the side without stopping anything that you currently are doing as a church. This way you have the freedom to try something out without needing to get everyone on board.
Consider this:
What would it be worth for you to actually have three healthy Communities on Mission up and running? Three communities that are bringing heaven to earth in your neighborhood. Three communities that have a real impact. Three communities that are being discipled and are involving people in the process that your church currently is not reaching.
I am sure it would be worth more to you than the price of the tuition of the Launch Class. Here is the thing: The Launch Class is not just a class to acquire more knowledge. It will help you to actually come up with a plan to launch Communities on Mission.
But if the price of the tuition is really the only reason why you cannot join the next Launch Class, please click here to apply for a scholarship. Our commitment is that money is never the reason not to join the Launch Class.
Consider this:
Let’s be honest. Is this really your reason not to join or just an excuse because it is a little bit scary to venture out and try something new? 90% of the time, in our experience, this is just another easy excuse to hide behind.
If not now, when will be the right time?
Consider this:
Communities on Mission is not rocket science and you can figure out how to launch and lead them yourselves. Yes, that is true. On the other hand, you can speed up the process, save a few years of trial and error, and just adapt everything we have learned over many years and in many different contexts.
The Launch Class will give you access to our whole blueprint on how to launch and multiply Communities on Mission and give you a community that will walk alongside you to actually implement what you are learning. If you are already committed to starting Communities on Mission in your own church, this Launch Class will be even more valuable and effective for you.
who is the launch class for?
Pastors, pastoral staff, and church leaders that are looking for ways to engage the community around them and re-engage those within their churches who are no longer interested in ‘church as usual’ can meet those goals through this launch class.
Church planters who desire to start something fresh and different that meets the culture where it is and isn’t ‘just another church’ will fulfill those desires with these tools.
Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs seeking to include their faith in their business and community can achieve this target using this training.
