Church Planting the Easy Way

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

I just finsihed a consultation with a denomination that is considering planting some churches.  I told them they had to if for no other reason than to survive (of course that should never be the reason, shouold it).

We then discussed how to do it the easy way- find four churches that will put up $15,000 a year for four years as well as allow the planter access to all of their equipment and an office. Hopefully one of the four churches is growing and can offer some guidance along the way. But in any case the planter should have as much up front equipping as possible and the conference should hire a church planter coach.

I first heard of this method from Todd Wilson at http://www.churchplantingnetwork.com/. they are the ones putting on the Exponential conference next year. By the way you can hear me there.
