I attended a forum on church planting at Summit Church in Durham tonight with Ed Stetzer leading the discussion. Stetzer is the guru on church planting and missiology. He spoke about "Pitfalls in Church Planting: What we and others do that undermine the work and how to avoid them." It was an extremely encouraging time for those with a heart for the church. Let's just say I'll be processing what was said for at least several days. Here is his basic outline:
Pitfalls in Church Planting
- Lack of spiritual preparation
- Stressful family relationships
- Inadequate training
- Lack of accountability
- Unrealistic expectations
- Broken partnerships
