\"Planting<\/a> <\/p>\n

Today, a lot of what is called church planting<\/em> is really starting a new 1 hour service<\/em> for people to attend.  There's a belief that just by opening your doors and great preaching, you will start a revolution.  We've seen these new churches spring up and begin to market themselves as the cool new 'un-church' where they hope to get marginal Christians to commit to the new endeavor.  The debates go back and forth about planting with a core or planting big and gathering a core from that.   As we've been involved in church planting, our thinking has changed.  Here is how we envision Planting New Gatherings in the City<\/a> (pdf):<\/p>\n

1. A Team (some call this an Apostolic Team) of people (Missional Community) are on mission in a specific area of the city.  This Missional Community has the DNA intended to replicate, be on mission and disciple people.<\/p>\n

2. The Missional Community multiplies.  See also:  Missional Community Leader Development<\/a><\/strong> (pdf)<\/p>\n

3. As several new Missional Communities are formed in an area, they begin to be trained to create a new gathering in the city.  This includes a weekly worship service to gather the communities to celebrate, worship and hear the Word of God.<\/p>\n

4. A movement of Missional Communities and gatherings spreads through the city as a visible witness and gospel hermeneutic.<\/p>\n
