A Church Planter's 7 Steps for Planting Church

Church planters by nature are fast-moving, catalytic people. Taking time to properly prepare can be challenging. Yet, this was key to Jesus’ approach to preparing His disciples. He spent three years pouring Himself into them in order that the ministry He began would continue through them. In order for potential church planters to be effective, they too, must take time to prepare.

This is our vision. . . large churches, small churches, traditional churches, nontraditional churches, churches being planted by pastors and laypeople in schools, prisons, office buildings, storefronts, factories, on campuses, et cetera. It is our prayer that Seven Steps for Planting Churches can serve as a simple resource in the hands of scores of ordinary people committed to do an extraordinary work. With this in mind, we see a day when there will be 100,000 healthy churches dotting the landscape of North America.
