This guide will provide you with the proven strategies and biblical principles you need to plant and multiply churches that will transform your community and reach the world for Christ.

Chapter 1: The Biblical Basis for Church Planting

The Bible is clear that the church is to be a multiplying organism. In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded his disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).

This command implies that the church is to be a reproducing organism. We are to make disciples who will make disciples who will make disciples. And the best way to do this is through church planting.

Church planting is a biblical mandate. It is not an option but a necessity for the church that wants to fulfill its mission.

Chapter 2: The Importance of Church Planting

Church planting is essential for the growth of the kingdom of God. It is the most effective way to reach new people with the gospel and to establish new communities of faith.

Here are some of the benefits of church planting:

It reaches new people with the gospel.
It establishes new communities of faith.
It revitalizes existing churches.
It strengthens the body of Christ.
It glorifies God.

Church planting is a powerful tool for advancing the kingdom of God. It is a work that is both challenging and rewarding. And it is a work that is essential for the future of the church.

Chapter 3: The Process of Church Planting

Church planting is a complex process that involves many different steps. But it can be broken down into four basic phases:

Preparation: This phase involves prayer, planning, and team building.
Launch: This phase involves starting the new church and getting it off the ground.
Growth: This phase involves growing the new church to maturity.
Multiplication: This phase involves planting new churches from the existing church.

Each phase of the church planting process is important. And each phase requires careful planning and execution.

Chapter 4: The Role of the Church Planter

The church planter is a key figure in the church planting process. He or she is responsible for leading the team, casting the vision, and overseeing the implementation of the plan.

There are many different qualities that a good church planter should have. But some of the most important qualities include:

A strong call from God
A passion for evangelism
A gift for leadership
A strong work ethic
A willingness to sacrifice

Church planting is a demanding but rewarding ministry. And it is a ministry that is essential for the growth of the kingdom of God.

Chapter 5: The Resources for Church Planting

There are many resources available to help you plant a church. These resources include:

Denominational resources: Many denominations offer resources and support to church planters.
Church planting networks: There are many church planting networks that can provide support and resources to church planters.

Church planting is a powerful tool for advancing the kingdom of God. It is a work that is both challenging and rewarding. And it is a work that is essential for the future of the church.

If you are called to plant a church, I encourage you to take the next step. Pray about it. Talk to your pastor. And get started on the exciting journey of church planting.
