MINISTRY PERSPECTIVES __________________________________


• Church Planting Village – This is your one - stop shop for church planting. This site is for anyone interested in starting a church, providing some of the resources available anywhere on planting new churches.

www.churchplantingvillage.net

• Church Starting Network - The Church Starting Network is an association that strives to join with other Christians and Christian groups to stimulate starting apostolic churches that engage comprehensive evangelism among the peoples of the world, contextual church starting, reproductive church expansion, and healthy church growth and life. By apostolic churches, CSN means congregations and groups of churches that emphasize reaching those outside the salvation of Jesus and His Kingdom and the starting of congregations that will reproduce rather than spending most of the church’s time and resources on maintaining the structure of the church. Apostolic churches resemble, in form and practice, the churches of the New Testament era.

* House Church Central - HCC is non - denominational and an effort is made to accommodate Christians of many backgrounds. The house church movement is an attempt to get away from the institutional church, seeking instead to return to the small gatherings of peoples that constituted all of the churches of the New Testament era.

* Ten Most Common Mistakes Made by New Church Starts by Jim Griffith and Bill Easum

They have condensed their vast experiences down to ten points that account for the great majority of failures among church planters. For each point, the authors provide examples of the particular mistake and ways to avoid it. They speak in special sections to coaches and supervisors, showing them how to work with church planters to avoid the mistakes.
