The New Profile Of Church Planters
- Church planting today features older planters, more team-based leadership, more women and multi-racial planters, and more partnering with local churches.
- These shifts change strategy, funding, and multiplication goals for modern church plants.
Pandemic Fueled Transfer Growth
- Pandemic-era growth showed much higher local transfer growth compared with pre-pandemic launches (42% vs 26%).
- Much recent growth has been people switching churches rather than first-time conversions.
Plan For A Supportive Core
- Expect a core of committed believers to underwrite finances and volunteering while new converts get grounded over several years.
- Plan finances knowing growing churches often have lower per-capita giving early on due to many first-time guests.
