Church Matters: Church Planting (94 期:教会植堂)

Evangelicals love church planting—and rightly so! The world needs more churches because more people need to hear and believe the gospel. That’s why billions of dollars, scores of conferences, and countless books have pushed in the direction of church planting over the last few decades. More than that, many churches have been planted through this sustained emphasis. However, confusion persists around the what’s, when’s, who’s, and how’s of church planting resulting in unhealthy church plants. This issue of Church Matters clarifies how biblical ecclesiology dispels confusion and produces healthy church plants both domestically and around the world.
