Thank you for your interest in United in Crisis! Here are the recommended next steps to launch a church network in your city:
1
Identify a spirit-led, man or woman of God, who God is calling to be a full-time Executive Director (ED) to launch and lead a Crisis Response Church Network.
2
UIC Leadership will meet with potential ED candidates to cast vision for UIC and cities joining the global network (UIC expectations/UIC deliverables).
3
UIC strongly recommends that the ED raise up a Leadership Core Team around themselves before getting trained by UIC.
4
ED and Leadership Core Team fly to Austin for a 4-Day Intensive Training. The training will cover critical foundational building blocks for launching a Crisis Response Church Network in your city.
5
After completing the 4-Day Intensive Training, a newly formed Crisis Response Church Network needs to apply for UIC’s 12-Month Advanced Training Program scholarship. Once approved, UIC will coach and equip the leadership team over a 12-month period.
6
Month 1-3: Build Network Foundation and Infrastructure.
Month 4-6: Launch Church Network and Volunteer Training.
Month 7-9: Develop Infrastructure for Crisis Response and Annual Fundraiser.
Month 10-12: Fortify above areas with a time-tested approach to sustaining and growing the new Crisis Response Church Network.
