RESIDENCY LAB

Early Years Lab

Support for planters in the years right after launch — guided space to process where you're at, a few people in your corner, and room to pause before you burn out

01

Semester Gathering

One gathering at the start of each semester, guys only. Guided and peer conversation, with action plans built around your actual stage and needs — not a generic curriculum.

Kaynenn Parker or Ben Connelly are available to check in, coach, or otherwise serve you through the rest of the semester.

Fall: Sept 1, 9a–12p (lunch included) · Spring: TBD, likely around the PFW Church Planting Conference

02

Semester Dinner

One dinner mid-semester, for couples. An evening in prayer and relationship with other couples walking the same road. Fall & Spring — dates TBD

03

La Palmilla Retreat

Year-end retreat, for couples. Every planter needs a moment to pause, rest, and think honestly about sustainability. Couples join the Church Planting residents to close out the year together. Tues evening, May 4 – Thurs morning, May 6 (2027 speakers TBA)

Commitment

Time — A few hours a semester (guys), one dinner a semester (couples), one multi-day retreat a year.

Cost — Just the La Palmilla Retreat. Everything else is covered.

Our hope is to serve you and your plant well in these — well — early years.
