They’re small. Repeatable. And they work.
Curious?
Start here.
Reacting to Church Planting Potential

Local Leaders are the Future of Church Planting

Jerry Rice didn’t become the greatest wide receiver of all time because he was born that way. He trained—harder than anyone else in the league. The same is true for church planters. They’re not born.
