Ed Stetzer has recently put together a great series of blogposts on the topic, “Top Issues Church Planters Face.” I plan to interact with these articles through PLNTD in the future. For now, here’s the list in the order Stetzer wrote them:
1. Leadership Development and Reproducing Culture
2. Financial Self-Sufficiency and Viability
3. Launch Team Development and Mobilizing Volunteers
4. Systems, Processes, and Cultures
5. Casting Vision and Avoid Mission Drift
6. Evangelism and Discipleship
7. Spiritual, Physical, Mental Health Planter/Family
*. Conclusions and Observations
Look forward to reading your thoughts. NACPF.org is a network of churches in the Raleigh, NC area of which I am a part, and plan to plant from in 2014. Would enjoy hearing your thoughts if you have time to visit the site.
