In honor of today’s webinar on Top 3 Church Planting Mistakes (you are registered, right?  It’s free, click here), I want to share a summary of the Nine Things I Know About Church Planting – these lessons are from my coaching, writing and conferences with church planters – they also come out of my study of the New Testament Church.

I’m not being contrarian just to be so, but here they are:

•       Your call to start a church is the most critical factor to the church’s success

•       Don’t be afraid to raise funds from other churches

•       Build your church from the outside in

•       Don’t start with small groups or with a youth ministry

•       Use three to six monthly worship services to build up to weekly services

•       Don’t try to gather the churched; stay focused on the unchurched

•       In the beginning, resist the temptation to do everything

•       You can start a church much faster than you think

•       You can grow a church much faster than you think

I welcome your questions using the comments below.
