Building Your Launch Team
God does not use a lone individual to start a church.
I want to be joyfully ministering for the long haul.
Seminaries are realizing that ministerial training happens best in the context of a local church.
Instead of looking down on pastors for being bivocational, we should lift them up as our heroes.
Together we can accomplish more than we can ever do alone.
We must take time to craft the vision for our church, and the elements of mission and ministry in it.
If Jesus’ sermons didn’t necessarily contain much new content, what made his teaching so attractive?
Renewal, restoration, transformation, and salvation will come from here or another place.
One of the biggest benefits to being multisite is that you can begin to build systems that allow you to launch new churches.
One of the challenges for me as a church planter is not knowing what I don’t know.
Even if a church does not talk about race/social issues as much, these churches care deeply about what God is doing globally.
