5 Key Trends Shaping Church Planting in 2025 and How to Prepare Today
Robert Kim, Covenant Theological Seminary
As we continue to trust that the Lord is building His church and the promise that nothing will prevail against it (Mt. 16:18), we also want to faithfully prepare for what is to come. This seminar will explore the five key trends influencing church planting in 2025, including the mental health crisis, cultural and generational shifts, new models of community engagement, and the changing landscape of evangelism. Participants will gain insights into how these trends are impacting church health and sustainability, and most importantly, how to prepare effectively for the challenges and opportunities they present. Whether you’re planting a church now or preparing for future ministry, this seminar will equip you with practical strategies for faithful gospel ministry
As we witness the challenge facing our brothers and sisters, how should we respond? We have a responsibility to be a voice for the voiceless, to care for the vulnerable, and to tell their stories of faith.
Through the lens of the persecuted church’s experience in China, this seminar will explore a theology of advocacy and will include practical ways that you and your churches can join an alliance of global advocates.
