Who We Are
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to train leaders to plant dynamic churches. We equip those leaders with time-tested, Biblically-based training curriculum, so that they plant healthy churches that reproduce and plant more healthy churches.
Our research shows that each leader trained plants an average of 2.55 churches, and each church leads an average of 40 people to Christ.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to equip leaders to plant five million churches to reach the world for Christ. As of January 2022, we have trained leaders to plant over one million churches! We are now focusing on the Five Million Church Vision with excitement and determination.
God has also given us a vision to introduce our training to every country of the world. We have just over 20 countries left, and we know God will do it.
OUR RESEARCH
We keep a close eye on our trainees to make sure that our training is, and continues to be, maximally effective.
Our research shows that every DCPI-trained church planter starts 2.55 churches within the first five years after their DCPI training.
Their churches lead, on average, 40 people to Christ.
They are healthy, reproductive, Gospel-sharing, Great-Commission-fulfilling churches.
