Explore the Ten Crucial Questions about Launching a New Church Site
One of the most powerful and effective ways to reach our world for Jesus is to plant new churches. Establishing a new church site focuses a congregation outward—on the spiritual needs of the people in the surrounding community. That, in turn, energizes church members and fuels healthy church growth in both the sending church and the start-up church.
Jess Rainer, an experienced church planter, will guide you through the key conversations that church leaders and members must have when launching a new church site.
