Why We’re Planting a Church

These are not the reasons we’re planting a church:

• because it’s cool
• as a protest against the established church
• as a form of self-expression
• to prove myself
• to make a fresh start

If I planted for these reasons, I would quit in no time.

These are the reasons why we’re planting a church:

• for God’s glory
• for the thousands of people who need to hear about Jesus

Whenever I begin to waver, I remind myself why we’re planting a church.
