Joshua Project - Unreached Peoples of the World. Church Planting Guide for Beginners. Starting a new church or ministry is one of the most rewarding and fruitful things you can do to advance the kingdom, but it can also be very challenging.
After planting multiple churches and youth outreach centers, I can tell you from experience that you will need all the information and support you can get. There’s always a need for good Bible-teaching churches (Matthew 9:36-38; John 9:4; 4:35), especially since each church plant will reach a unique group of people. Your ministry will draw people other churches can’t or won’t. Remember, it’s the church that is to come against the gates of hell (Matthew 16:18). If you feel the Lord is leading you to plant a new church, rest assured there’s probably a need only your ministry can meet.
