Church Planting

In this class, Aaron introduces church planting as a primer drawn from his own experience and connects it to the church’s biblical and historical role. He describes the local church as the place where believers are cared for, discipled, protected, and equipped for ministry through practices like baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and membership.

He then discusses several church-planting models and focuses on the mother-daughter or sponsored plant model as the one with the strongest biblical and historical support. He closes by outlining the main phases of planting, from vision and preparation to launch, stabilization, and eventual release to local leadership.
