COGBF 17 STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL CHURCH PLANTING
Starting a new church is a challenging but rewarding venture with many peaks and valleys. However, the Apostle Paul made it his aim because this was at the heart of God. He said, “My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else. I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says, Those who have never been told about him will see, and those who have never heard of him will understand.” Romans 15:20-21NLT
The Church of God by Faith is committed to fulfilling this charge by planting 50 new churches by 2025. The following checklist gives helpful hints to church planters intended to assure a successful plant.
- Know you are called by God to lead or plant a church
Prayer and fasting are your ultimate guarantors here. Abraham was chosen by God and told to “GO” get away from your father’s people; Know God, Sense God, Hear God Seek the Lord for guidance regularly and prayerfully. Pray about the best location, funding strategies and consult with your district superintendent and or Executive Council. Do not try to do it alone.
- Understand our mandate to expand the Body of Christ.
