Accelerate is our leadership training programme which supports curates who are planting or revitalising a church.

Accelerate Streams are designed specifically for church teams who work in Operations, Worship, Kids & Youth, and Social Transformation.

Who is it ACCELERATE for?

First & Second Year Curates

For first and second year curates, we offer termly workshops and coaching calls to help participants reflect on their emerging planting journey.

Third Year Curates

For curates in their final year, the Accelerate programme is more immersive.  Participants access weekly, live online training delivered by experts and practitioners in the world of church planting. Alongside this, they are invited to form smaller coaching groups to reflect on, and consolidate, their learning.  

Accelerate Streams

We offer short 6-week Accelerate training programmes for staff teams in the HTB Network, designed to further equip and upskill those who work in these four areas - Operations, Worship, Kids & Youth, Social Transformation.

Our next course runs on the following dates: 9 February, 23 February, 2 March, 9 March, 16 March, 23 March 2026.

Launch day on 9 February will be in person in London, whilst the rest of the course will be on Zoom.
