It was designed to help planters think strategically and apply the principles as they are led in building a customized action plan tailored to their specific setting. It has been an effective resource for planters across the United States and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be a free Session One of Launchpad, focused on the \u201cSeasons of Planting\u201d and the \u201cSeason of Discernment and Discovery\u201d at the beginning of a planting project. This free two-and-a-half-hour live Zoom conference (with full interactivity) will be held on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, from 4:30-7:00 p.m., CT.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/na.eventscloud.com\/ereg\/index.php?eventid=851215&amp;\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to learn more and register today<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining four sessions of Launchpad will be held in the winter of 2026, one session a week for a month. Because the training is online, rather than in person, it is accessible to entire planting teams, not just to pastors and\/or planter leaders who can access funds for travel. For those who wish to attend all five sessions, the registration fee of $299 includes up to five team members. Dates for the winter sessions will be available soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage church developers, district superintendents, and others who oversee new ministry start-ups to inform start-up leaders about the free September 23 session, so they can mark their calendars and invite others to join them for the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be on the lookout for registration information for Launchpad 2025-26 in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"tribe-block tribe-block__event-price\" >\n\t\t\t<span class=\"tribe-block__event-price__cost\"> Free <\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div
