Discovery Lab is an intense interview for potential church planters, campus ministers, and other ministry leaders. Discovery Lab candidates spend many hours leading up to the lab taking a battery of assessments in order to help the interview team give them the most accurate feedback possible. 

​The interview team also spends a lot of time reading up on and praying over the planter candidates before anyone arrives at the lab. Once we get together, it’s an intense time of questions, answers, project presentations, and blessings!

Discovery Lab will challenge you like few events you’ll ever experience. All of this preparation and energy goes into answering 3 questions:

1

Am I capable of being a church planter or ministry leader?

2

Am I ready to start the process of planting a church or build a new ministry from scratch?

3

Is Kairos a good fit for me?
