Sending the members of a church planting team well is key to the healthy ministry of both the new church and the sending church.  Part of sending well is commissioning the team for their new ministry, to confirm and express gospel partnership between the church plant and the sending church.

This document is an example of a commissioning that could be used in the sending church, to send out the planting team into God’s harvest field.  This example commissioning includes lots of words of Scripture, responses for the members of the planting team and the congregation, and prayers.
