How to Become a Church-Planting Church

Couldn't agree with this article more in terms of practical ways you can become a church-planting church. Oh that existing churches would get a heart for this New Testament model of missional faithfulness. Below is the overview and the full article here.

Year 1

• Assess and re-define your church missions strategy/philosophy.
• Allocate a certain percentage of your annual budget for church planting.

Years 2 to 5

• Partner with other churches in supporting a church planter.
• Adopt and support an existing church planter.
• Intentionally build a church-planting ethos in your church.

Years 6 and Beyond

• Do a church-planting residency with a future church planter.
• Hire staff with the aim of sending them out to plant after 3 to 5 years.
