Church Planting Accelerator Program (CPAP)
The Church Planting Accelerator Program is an initiative of All Peoples Church, Bangalore to nurture, equip, mentor and support individuals and church planting teams across India. The program assists those called to pioneer a local church in their specific city/community to realize their vision and establish a thriving, self-sustaining local community of believers in Jesus Christ.
A church planting team may comprise of a single adult or a maximum of 4 adults. The church planting individual or team must have a clear vision to pioneer and pastor a church in a particular city/community. They must be actively involved in Christian ministry either as a volunteer or in a full-time capacity. Selected candidates will be invited to Bangalore and be trained and mentored at APC Bangalore during January 2023 to December 2023. Expenses for their time of training at APC Bangalore will be covered and a monthly stipend will be provided. After successfully completing their training, in January 2024, they will be released to launch their pioneering work in their selected city/community. APC will continue to nurture, mentor and financially assist each church planting team for a period of 3 years.
Preference will be given to those who have completed three years of training and graduated with a B.Th. from APC Bible College. APC Bible College B.Th. graduates who are selected can skip the one year training and mentoring program at APC Bangalore and can directly start their church planting/pioneering work with support from APC. From 2023 onwards, international B.Th. graduates from APC Bible College can also apply for this program for church planting/pioneering work globally.
