CHURCH PLANTING Planting a church is a series of interrelated steps that requires more than just human expertise if a new church is to be birthed. Planting a church is a spiritual journey requiring long hours of physical work and intercessory prayer.
Step 1 begins with either the discovery of a need, a person called, or a willing sponsor church. Need- Person- Church
Step 2 brings the planter, the sponsor, the association, and a state convention together to plan and pray together. Need- Person- Church Plan- Strategy- Share
Step 3 brings the representatives from step two back together to consider all available resources. Need- Person- Church Plan- Strategy- Share Resource
