It is a Biblical blueprint we are given to equip people and grow the Kingdom. This is a free online assessment that will help you discover your Kingdom strengths.
Church Planter Profiles (CPP) was created to help potential church planters discern their aptitude and readiness for starting a new church quickly and easily in an online environment.
