It's an up-to-date textbook on church planting and a helpful summary of church growth principles in general.

Download or read book Church Planting Is for Wimps Redesign written by Mike McKinley and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the revitalization of Guilford Baptist Church in northern Virginia. Weaving together scripture and biblical principles with humor and personal anecdotes, author Michael McKinley asserts that a pastor's faithful exposition of God's Word, passion for sharing the gospel, and care in the training of other godly leaders are more important than the size of his church. McKinley honestly shares his own fears and rookie mistakes, along with encouraging stories of how God moved at Guilford Baptist. We are reminded that God uses weak and fearful pastors in plants and revitalizations; church planting is indeed for "wimps." For pastors and seminarians considering a church plant and those already struggling in their own fledgling congregations, this book is a thoughtful and encouraging resource.
