This PowerPoint presentation provides a quick inventory of the factors most closely associated with help in a church plant.

We within the church planting community now speak of cultures instead of culture. Not only are we ethnically diverse, we find diversity within people groups themselves.

The first question is "What is a core group?" The short answer to this question is, "a core group is the new church in seed form." 

A study conducted by NAMB in 2007 to identify the factors that helped a church plant survive beyond five years found that church plants that have a proactive stewardship plan enjoy a 178% greater chance of surviving beyond five years than their non-proactive counterparts. The study also found that enacting a positive plan for engaging new members in stewardship is critical to helping a new congregation become financially independent. [1] Finally, the study demonstrated that stewardship plans need to be in place early on in the life of the church plant in order to promote financial health and independence.   

El que perturba su casa no hereda más que el viento…(Proverbios 11:29) NVI.

Pase algún tiempo en la plantación de iglesias y se dará cuenta de un hecho muy inquietante. Muchos plantadores han perdido sus familias debido a sus esfuerzos por lograr el éxito y crecimiento de la iglesia. Por lo general, comienzan con motivos puros, plantar una iglesia para los perdidos, pero fácilmente puede convertirse en una pasión para alimentar su propio ego a medida que se gana éxito. Lea la siguiente frase a conciencia y permita que penetre en ésta.

When we look at Jesus Christ’s three year ministry we see that He engaged many kinds of lost people. First and foremost, Christ introduced the gospel to His own people, the Hebrews. But the Gospels also record specific kinds of people to whom Jesus introduced the kingdom. Fishermen, tax collectors, Samaritans, rich, poor, lepers, Greeks, prostitutes, the sick, demon-possessed, children, Pharisees, and Sadducees are some that are listed in the Gospels.

Church Planter Training (Spanish)

Looking across the web under the search, “Church Planter Training,” you will find 923,000 choices. We have come a long way in a short period of time. In 1993, as I started to plant my first church I could only find one seminar on “Church Planting.” The Church Growth Movement and the books that were written preceded the development of Church Planting. Even Basic Training for Church Planters came out more than twelve years ago. It has been used to train over 12,000 church planters, spouses and their teams. Now we have come to 2010 and the release of the new Basic Training Journey for Church Planting. 

Here are some ideas to promote health and growth in a church plant. 

Basic Training II (BT II) is a six session (10 hour), two-phase process of preparing the church planting team to lead the church to the next level of growth.  Download

Church planting is an essential part of the fabric of Kingdom advancement in North America. Both planters and strategists are interested in what yields lasting fruit. In 2006 the North American Mission Board conducted a survey in 2006 to research the factors that enable church plants to survive and thrive. The study identified the survivability rate for church plants and those factors that contributed to the early growth of Southern Baptist church plants. These factors assumed a solid biblical foundation and reliance upon the power of the Holy Spirit.
