10 Ways to Be a Great Church Plant Core Group
From Luke Simmons, pastor of Second Mile Church in Gilbert, Arizona via the Sojourn Planting Blog
- Your primary job is to create a culture that you and God will be happy about 10 years from now.
- Your new pastor and church will eventually disappoint you and let you down.
- Work to create an evangelistic texture to every ministry environment.
- Always talk as though nobody knows who your heroes are.
- Be known by what you’re for, not what you’re against.
- Don’t moralize your personal preferences.
- Leave your current church on great terms (or go make it right if you didn’t).
- Relentlessly involve new people.
- Be ready for change.
- Direction, not intention, determines your destination.
