Why plant churches?
- Worship drives mission
- Gospel is growing, God is active, we want to join the mission
- Evangelize the lost
Why we shouldn't plant churches?
- Looking for the next cool thing in town. The goal of church plants is to reach the lost, not steal sheep.
- Don’t like your current church. There'll be reasons not to like the new plant.
- Thinking it will be easy and smooth. It will be hard and difficult; this will be a fight, a battle, and a challenging mission.
