Exploring Church Planting?
Starting a church is one of the most fulfilling – and difficult! – things you will ever do. But did you know that 66% of new churches don’t make it to full self-sufficiency within 4 years? Often, this is because the new church leader is:
- not truly called to start a church
- not yet ready to start a church
- lacks the skills needed to successfully start a church
Though the stats are daunting, with prayer, wise counsel, and some reflection, you can understand who God created you to be, what God created you to be doing, and what your current assignment is.
