Few churches in North America are involved in church planting. I want to be involved in changing this unfortunate reality.
Today, I am releasing my latest e-book Leading Your Church in Church Planting: Taking the First Steps.
This 62-page work is designed to encourage and provide some guidance for pastors considering such missionary work. While some elements of this book will be of value to pastors who are already leading their churches in church planting, this resource was not written with them in mind. The content is very basic. It is written for those approaching the starting line–not those already in the race.
Chapters include:
- Seven Reasons for Leading Your Church in Church Planting
- The Other Wing of the Airplane
- Some Resources to Get You Started
- Avoiding the Nestea Plunge
- Five Steps for Vision Casting for Multiplication
- Anticipating Objections to Church Planting
Each chapter concludes with questions to assist with developing and taking contextualized action steps.
This work is FREE for the taking.
My only request–if you would please–is that you would be kind enough to subscribe to my blog feed and tell at least three other people about this free resource (tweeting it to your millions of followers will suffice).
I truly appreciate your assistance in spreading the word on this book.
The book is available in pdf, Kindle, and Epub formats. I prefer the pdf. At this point in time, Kindle and Epub remove some of the aesthetic value of the book.
So, take it, use it, give it away, make photocopies of it, tweet it, etc.!

If you get a chance, please let me know how you are using this book. I always look forward to hearing from you guys out there.
If you did not get a copy of the other e-book I gave away last month, you may find it HERE.

I have started Missionary churhes in Haiti.This tool is very useful to my work that I have been starting since my graduation in 2011.
Hey J.D.,
As a church planter that just parachuted in to San Diego, CA (the most resistant city to the Gospel among largest 25 cities in U.S.), I want to say thank you! I am a younger pastor (mid 30’s) who is hopeful for the future of the SBC and the state of Christianity here in America. I believe that this generation of churches being birthed with be known as “The Boomers”! It is time for an increase in the American church’s sending capacity and a decrease in concern for it’s seating capacity. Thanks again J.D.!
P.S. If any churches read this, pray, and feel led to get involved in church planting I would love to connect with you! Chaz@EpicChurch.co
