If you are a church planter who is not interested in planting churches, they you are a dead end on the great commission pipeline.
When your church is planted, your church is ready to plant.
Church planting is the greatest thing your church can do for evangelism.
Training is more important that finances when planting churches.
Do your church’s official documents mention church planting? Is church planting in your church’s DNA?
Does your church regularly send people out to help start and/or support new churches?
We have plenty of church planters… what we need now are tons more churches who are willing to help these planters plant churches.
Ed Stetzer was first up at the Exponential Conference. Ed talked about some of the new research they have done at Lifeway on Church Planting churches. It was a very informational session. I jotted down just a few notes about the session that you might find interesting...

Should all churches not be aiming at this??? Its crazy when you think that churches do not do this as it is part of the Great Commission that Jesus gave us.

We already have three places in mind to plant a church in when this one is off and running. I don’t understand not thinking ahead like this.

OR… perhaps churches could plant new sites that eventually might become standalone churches.
Yes, we should all think about this, for a very hard and difficult reason… many churches that are vital today will be closed tomorrow, and we will need new churches to replace them. Yes, I wish those churches would change and grow, too, but the sad fact is that not all will.
