Meet with 10 pastors in the Kansas City area and talked about church planting. We had some great discussion as we talked about "Why should we plant a church?" Here are some of the answers but not all.
- Obedience to what God has told us to do
- It is the most effective means of evangelism
- Extending the Kingdom of God
- Growth of our people
- God's calling on our life.
- Health of the mother church
- Great way to train leaders
- God loves people
- Strengthens and stretches our faith
- Community needs Biblical values
- We can stress Kingdom issues not individual person or church
We also talked about barriers to church planting
- to old
- not organized
- comfortable with what we have
- fear of failure
- fear of money
- fear of burnout
- we get use to life
What could be added to either list?
