Launch Scotland

Launch is a 10-month intensive training based in Scotland for next-generation church planters & missional leaders to be equipped to start new expressions of Christian community, particularly in places in the world that are majority secular and ‘post-religious.’

Participants receive individualized coaching and supervised ministry site engagement, and participate in midweek Zoom discussions, multi-day residentials, and site visits to innovative Christian communities. Resources and discussions focus on the inner life of a leader, the strengths of a leader, building a team and discerning how to embed and initiate ministry in a particular context. Participants also learn contemplative prayer practices and receive spiritual direction for sustainable leadership.

Launch uses Communitas’ ‘Dynamic Adventure’ resource to show how to create neighborhood-embedded, team led, servant-hearted churches and new Christian communities.

Starting in Fall 2026, international participants will be invited to Scotland for full-time residencies alongside their Scottish colleagues.
