The second stage the threefold cycle of faithful innovation is dedicated to the starters—The ones who have done the work of discernment and have begun the work of starting something new.

While the call of starting a new church is very exciting, the day in and day out activities of starting a new church can be exhausting. We developed two essentials for all of the church starters. The first is to choose a coach. Coaches join the starters in conversation and guide them through the next faithful steps that need to be made. The second is to join a Starters gathering where the Starters are given the highest level of training in mutuality around Cyclical’s Core Covenant Values. 

“I am building a community that means the world to me, and with that comes a lot of responsibility that I am still learning to handle. However, through the multi-tiered Cyclical system, I am able to receive spiritual direction, organizational direction, divine affirmation, and connection to a network of people who are in the same boat as me—making me feel less alone in my endeavors. Without Cyclical LA, I don’t know where I would be or if my organization would even still exist. Because of all the positive influences that Cyclical has given me, I feel confident, supported, and loved as I continue to strive to bring about more love and freedom through the work of Be Free.”
