The Evangel School of Urban Church Planting Our Evangel School of Urban Church Planting trains church plant teams to plant healthy churches among the poor. We provide both the resources and expertise to enable teams to evangelize, equip, and empower unreached communities with the Gospel. The precursor for the school, The Evangel School Boot Camp, provides a team assessment and an application process which helps to confirm that the planters have the calling, character, and competence needed to plant churches among the poor. Our Evangel Coaches counsel the church planters and their teams to listen and cooperate with the Holy Spirit to see that their vision becomes a reality.

Ripe for Harvest: A Guidebook for Planting Healthy Churches in the City is the official textbook of the Evangel School.

Front Matters: Prerequisite Readings for the Evangel School of Urban Church Planting contains all readings and assignments each church planter must complete before attending the Evangel School.

Planting Churches among the City’s Poor: An Anthology of Urban Church Planting Resources is a two-volume set which represents World Impact’s research, dialogue, and insight on church planting.
