CHURCH CONSULTATIONS

This is a service that AAPC offers for churches in the beginning stages of the adoption process. It is a customized meeting held at your local church to strategize with the senior pastor and/or mission pastor, mission staff, mission committee, etc. concerning a personalized plan for a church adoption of an unreached people group.

A church consultation usually involves an evening and the following day. During the evening session, which only involves a small number of the leadership, introductions are made, the history of the church mission program is shared, and a general idea of what the church is desiring to do is discussed. The following day, the meetings are opened up to additional people involved with missions in the local church for foundational teachings on the adoption process such as "How to Choose an Unreached People Group," "How to Involve the Whole Church in the Adoption Process," "How to Take the Church to the Next Stage," etc.. This can also be scheduled on a weekend, adding a Saturday evening meeting open to the whole church (Concert of Prayer, youth GLORYRAVE, etc.) and even a Sunday morning service emphasizing God's heart for unreached peoples and the harvest.
