The Antioch School of Church Planting and Leadership Development exists to equip everyday believers, emerging leaders, and church teams for the work of gospel expansion across coastal Southern California. Built on the Pauline strategy, the Antioch School provides a clear, accessible, competency-based training environment for lay leaders engaged in planting and establishing new congregations and ministries.

The Antioch School integrates three key components:

• Biblical and theological foundations that ground future leaders in the Scriptures.

• Practical skills and ministry tools drawn from Acts, the epistles, and the historic patterns of church planting and local leadership.

• Real-time learning environments where participants apply what they are learning within their congregations, neighborhoods, and mission bases.

Training occurs in cohorts, guided by experienced practitioners who coach participants in reading Scripture for direction, discerning local opportunities, forming mission teams, developing leaders, and establishing stable Word-and-Sacrament communities. The Antioch School complements, rather than replaces, the church’s existing structures and seminaries by offering a scalable pathway for raising up workers and strengthening congregations for regional gospel work.

Whether you are preparing to plant, revitalizing a ministry, or seeking to develop leaders within your congregation, the Antioch School provides the theological depth, practical training, and supportive environment needed to serve faithfully and effectively in God’s expanding kingdom.
