Some Church Planting Methods

Teaching points

  • Rowlands considers location, leadership gifts, and available resources when choosing methods. A method should fit the people and circumstances it is intended to serve.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • Acts 16:13–15
  • Acts 19:8–10

Reflect

  • Which community needs and constraints should shape your approach?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Compare two possible approaches using people served, team capacity, costs, and questions requiring local advice.
