How An Established Church Can Start Planting

I was recently reminded from a friend about the helpful nature of Aaron Morrow's article on how established churches can start planting churches. It's a really helpful resource for churches who would benefit from a step-by-step guide on how to grow their church toward church planting. I can't recommend enough. Here is a link to the full article and the steps Aaron walks through to create a multiplying church.

1. Educate yourself about church planting
2. Educate your elders and missions team about church planting
3. Educate your church about church planting
4. Model principals of church planting in your existing ministries
5. Allocate a percentage of your budget for church planting
6. Partner with like-minded churches to support church planting
7. Adopt and support an existing church planter
8. Create a church planting residency for a future church planter
9. Hire staff with the aim of sending them out to plant after 3-5 years
