Planting Missional Churches Endorsements

Planting a church is one of the most exciting adventures you’ll ever embark on. It’s also one of the hardest.

It requires initiative, leadership, strategy, systems, and a lot of prayer. In this second edition of Planting Missional Churches, not only will you find a completely redesigned book with new content in every single chapter, but you will also find several new chapters on topics such as church multiplication, residencies, multi-ethnic ministry, multisite, denominations and networks, and spiritual leadership. So if you’re planting a church, be prepared. Use this book as a guide to build the needed ministry areas so that you can multiply over and over again.

Endorsements:

“Planting Missional Churches was the category-defining book for church planting for a decade. Now, updated with new research, observations, and Daniel Im as coauthor, it is a must read for every church planter.” – Matt Chandler, lead pastor, The Village Church

“Ed Stetzer’s original Planting Missional Churches has proved to be a defining book in its field. In this edition, Ed and Daniel update the material to suit the constantly shifting contexts we find ourselves in. Lashed with significant new learnings since the last edition, this new edition will serve us well for the next ten years as well.” – Alan Hirsch, founder, 100Movements and Forge Mission Training Network
