Excerpt Financial  Backing  and  Necessary  Resources When  most  denominations  and  church  planting  organi-­ zations  decide  to  plant  a  new  church,  they  decide  on  the  city   or   location   for   the   plant   and   begin   extensive   fund-­raising     activities.   The   preliminary   goal   is   typically   $150,000   to   ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣-­ nitude  is  expected  to  cover  the  salary  and  housing  expenses   of  the  primary  church  planter,  all  necessary  training,  exten-­ sive  advertising,  and  the  purchase  of  basic  equipment,  and   possibly  even  a  building.   Home   Missionary   church   plants   are   established   with   far  less  capital  up-­front.  We  have  sponsored  church  plants   with  as  little  as  $3,000  to  $4,000,  and  some  we  have  only   invested   $10,000   to   $30,000   in   all,   total   package.

Dr. Mark Adams
John Wesley told the first Methodist preachers, "You have nothing to do but save souls." Today new churches provide a leading means to do this very thing. Mark Taylor, an experienced pastor and church planter takes much of the mystery out of starting and sustaining church plants. Dr. Taylor provides many answers to vexing questions ranging from how to control costs to how to identify solid leadership team members. He is not speaking from research done by others but from the trenches of having planted over a dozen congregations all over the Midwest. Do you want real help from an out of the box church planter? Read this book!
