Five Church Planting Questions

by Michael Mckinley

We received this email at 9Marks headquarters today:

Our church is... strategizing about how to plant churches in a very difficult area. I've put together a list of questions that we're considering. If you have time, would you mind answering them? All of the wisdom we can gain would be very appreciated.
  1. What should the relationship between planter and sending church look like (assuming the sending church is already on the field)?     
  2. What role should denominational structures play in the church planting process? How can they help or hinder the process?
  3. How can a sending  church best serve a church planter?  
  4. In your opinion, is it better for a planter to be fully funded or to work at least part-time? Why? 
  5. How important is the assessment process and should the sending church be involved? 
 These are all great questions that require real wisdom.  But since Mark D. is out of the country, I will try to provide some answers in a series of posts.  If anyone has experience and wisdom to add, feel free to chime in using the comments.
