Church Planter in Residence
The Dream Collective: National Community Church is committed to planting innovative, missional, and disciple-making churches. We recognize that pastors need pastors, and we want to give a blessing and a birthright to new church planters.
The Church Planter in Residence Programs provides a 12-18 month discipleship and leadership development process for those who are preparing to plant and desire intentional coaching and immersive experience.
Testimonial
Planting New Life
When Omari Hughes felt the call to plant a church like NCC, he knew he couldn’t do it on his own. Through the wisdom and guidance of Pastor Mark and the support of the Dream Pastoral Cohort, he found the space to learn and live the lessons from those who had gone before him.
Church planting isn’t meant to be a solo journey - the Dream Pastoral Cohort provides the community, mentorship, and lived wisdom to help bring your God-sized dream to life.
Launched Churches
Dream Collective has helped launch churches that are passionate about creativity, community, and meaningful impact. These churches are led by visionary pastors who create spaces where faith and imagination come together to inspire change.
