These are Toolbox 1 - Gospel-Centered DNA and Toolbox 2 - Planting Pathway Steps.
These two frameworks are a way to arrange tools that have proven most helpful to many planters, pastors, leaders, and sending churches that are at different places along their journey. Read the brief summaries below and explore a partnership with TIMES12 to gain access to these tools and resources. Please remember, TIMES12 understands that every cultural context is different, so our network partners are free to use a tool, adapt a tool, or create their own.
TOOLBOX 1: GOSPEL-CENTERED DNA
These tools and resources are arranged under each biblical element of our Gospel-Centered DNA that we help each plant and church in our network practice faithfully and fruitfully. The headings of this toolbox are:
- CENTERING ON JESUS & THE GOSPEL
- MAKING NEW DISCIPLES
- GROWING FAITHFUL DISCIPLES
- MULTIPLYING LEADERS (TO STAY) & PLANTERS (TO GO)
- IMPROVING HEALTH (FINANCIAL, ORGANIZATIONAL, PERSONAL)
We list practical “Tools” under each of these headings and we also provide top resources to “Deepen Your Understanding” through articles, talks, or books. Toolbox 1 is the largest repository of our tools and resources to help you no matter where you are on the journey of planting, pastoring, or sending planters to advance God’s kingdom.
