Dr. Tom Cheyney serves the Church Planting Group’s Strategic Readiness Team as the Strategic Resourcing Unit Manager. Tom develops World Class resources to assist the Church Planter in the growing of his new church. Dr. Cheyney’s vision for the Strategic Resourcing Unit is to provide world class resources for Church Planters, Sponsoring Churches and those who work with them. A large portion of his duties focus around the managing and continual development and deployment of the helpful tools and resources for Church Planters. Tom and his team oversee the continual development of the Church Planting Village; a virtual Church Planting Community for Sponsoring Churches, Church Planters, Church Planting Missionaries, Association Directors of Missions, State Directors of Missions, and any other individuals or organizations interested in Church Planting within the Southern Baptist Convention.
He is currently in the process of writing two new works for the church planting community. Early this coming year, he will complete, along with coauthor Dr. Rodney Harrison, his newest work, Sponsoring Starbucks Churches in a Folgers World. This resource is designed to help sponsoring churches develop the strategy and tools necessary to plant growing new churches. This will be a NAMB/CPG published work and will be only the second resource from any publisher in this field of endeavor. Later that year he will complete his second book with author and friend Dr. Scott Wilkins, entitled Starting High Impact Churches: Practical Tools for Launching Your New Church Large! This will be published by Baker Book Publishers. Dr. Cheyney is a contributor to all three Seven Steps for Planting Churches books and served as their General editor. Tom has also served as general editor for the church planting book, Reaching a Nation Through Church Planting, compiled by Vice President of Church Planting, Richard H. Harris, which was published in 2003.
Tom and his wife Cheryl have two children. Ashleigh is thirteen and a eighth grader, while their son Drew is eighteen and a freshman in college. They live in Cumming, Georgia. Tom’s hobbies include: building classic cars, playing tennis or golf, and writing mysteries in his free time.
