The assesment is a tool that helps identify who has what is required to succseed as a leader for a churchplant. An assesment interview is set to 3 hours with a leader, an assistant and a observer. Prior to the interview the candidate does a self assesment through filling out two forms. The assesment focuses on these topics: Calling, Character, Chemistry and Competance.

To plant a church is hard and time-consuming work, therefore we consider coaching to be key in this process. A coach meets with the planter once a month. A coach both challenge and encourage the planter and meet witht the team one time between each week-end gathering in the M4 process. There has been developed an M4 coaching manual, and we can offer some coaching training, but we want to see coaches from the denominations and networks that the team is planting from.
M4 is built around the ABC's of church planting: Assessment, Basic Training and Coaching. We have created an online form for assessment that helps leaders find the right church planting candidates. Our basic training, the core of M$, allows for, not just for content, but a unique environment for planters and their teams to guide them during the first 2-3 years of their church plant. Coaching, conducted by experienced planters and leaders, helps teams take their plans from a dream to reality. The content in the training platform has been developed from 30 years of church planting experience in the European context, and it formed around these four topics: Master; Mission; Multiplication and Movement. Matthew 28:18-20
