WHAT PEOPLE ARE

• “Amazing insights; great resources; gospel-centered focus, top-notch material both written and presented!”
• “This conference could replace all the other books, videos, classes and conferences I have encountered while preparing to plant”
• “I went to another training that focused on some theory and included a lot of inspirational stories. The training wasn’t very practical and not gospel-centered. I wondered “Where can I learn practical and applicable theory that is gospel-centered and where God is present?” Well, God brought me to that place when my wife and I came to GCA!”
• “It lays the foundational core for planting before you begin laboring at the plan. It gets your head and heart straight before you dive in.”
• “Intensely practical from people who’ve been there and done that!”
• “No other conference provides such intense training. This is truly a “bootcamp!”
• “All the trainers speak from the experience of their failures, which is encouraging!”
• “You only think you know what you are doing until you attend the conference! Hello, grenade-sitting-under-my seat! More than this, the love and riches of the gospel brought it all into focus.”
• “Call my denomination and tell them here is a place to train!”
• “This seminar surpassed my expectations. It’s like a grenade of useful information was dropped on me.”
• “Most valuable thing was getting the “ball rolling” by having time in class to work through exercises.”
• “Networking with others. GCA Must advertise more! Not many people know about it.”
• “The encouragement and coaching, not so much in the skills, but in the ‘faith!’”
• “Too much to list all, Relationships and Encouragement, Clearer Picture of the way forward.”
• “Talking about finances, launching, planning …”
• “The intentional nature of the conference was tremendously helpful.”
• “The overall orientation in foundations track was excellent. I think I walked away with a macro view of just what a church planter is!”
• “Encouragement from those who have been there and relationships with those who are going through it now.”
• “I love to be here because we can talk and we can dream together of church planting…”
• “Go tell others so they can come BEFORE they plant/start worship as a plant!”
• “There’s no doubt that I need to come back again.”
