This guide outlines the essential steps for beginning a successful church planting initiative. It emphasizes the importance of starting with prayer, connecting with local church leadership, and developing a clear vision and mission. Key components include understanding the community's demographics, selecting a strong team, and outlining roles and responsibilities. The prospectus should effectively communicate the church's purpose, core values, and goals, fostering partnership through prayer, finances, and outreach. Preparing a one-page prospectus can help secure support from potential partners.
