Through our unique association with the Sandberg Leadership Center and Ashland Theological Seminary, the research component of our institute is able to generate primary research with regard to North American church planting. Our staff is active in North America and Latin America gathering field innovation and experience. Doctor of Ministry students can direct their dissertations toward specific problems or opportunities in North American church planting and have already made original contributions to the field. Our facilities and staff are available to support post-doctoral and field researchers as they pursue Spirit-led qualitative research on North American church planting. Our support and facilities are also available to denominational leaders who wish to address specific research questions that will increase their church multiplication effectiveness. This spiritual and collegial support provides a hot-house atmosphere where individual researchers and innovative research projects can flourish.
